The IA advance which is most obvious to me (yet somehow not yet a reality) is
the nomenclator.

In Rome, a nomenclator was a slave who remembered people's names for you, and
as they approached would whisper to you that this is Gaius Tullius Castor, his
wife is Flaminia, his eldest boy is Marcus, and he owns beanfields.

A Google Glass camera on your eyeglasses and a speaker in your ear, hooked up
to Facebook's face recognition and social web, can tell you a quick precis of
who you see across the room before they get to you. Add a touch sensor in your
pocket or on a ring for unobtrusive control, and a mic to pick up your
annotations or commands, and you've got a product that should be a major hit
by the second generation.

Google famously banned face recognition on Glass after I and some other
developers made demo apps and APIs for using it:
[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E1aeMJY1AO0](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E1aeMJY1AO0)

Even now that Glass has been canceled for all but commercial use, it's still
in the guidelines that you aren't allowed to use face recognition: >
[https://developers.google.com/glass/policies?hl=en](https://developers.google.com/glass/policies?hl=en)
" Don't use the camera or microphone to cross-reference and immediately
present personal information identifying anyone other than the user, including
use cases such as facial recognition and voice print. Glassware that do this
will not be approved at this time. "

Amusingly, my nursing notes demo was me trying to be politically correct.
People were more interested in things like cross referencing most wanted lists
and sexual offender lists.

That ban made me uninterested in Glass. Face recognition would have been such
a help to elderly folks. Add object recognition and GPS and you could have had
an assistant to help the elderly through their day.
