“Coban is leveraging the most advanced and proven real-time video streaming and edge analytics applications for facial recognition," Coban’s product management director David Kirsch said in a company statement last October.

Hinojosa acknowledged that all of the advertised capabilities, notably facial recognition, are not reliably functional, yet.

Real-time facial recognition technology incorporated onto augmented reality screens still is "in its infancy," he said. Though researchers in China likely have more advanced technology than their counterparts elsewhere, he said.

Yet in a promotional video produced by computer chip Nvidia, Hinojosa said Coban's video system “is constantly learning.”

The guts of the hardware, he said, are made up of the latest robotic circuitry developed by Nvidia, which also was a sponsor of the Washington, D.C., conference.

“The more information that we feed, the better this system gets. If you look at it from a law enforcement perspective, (it is) strength in numbers,” Hinojosa told Nvidia as he stood alongside the Delaware State Police cruiser on the convention floor.

“At the end of the day, it’s officer safety and efficiency,” he said.

Other attendees at the Nvidia conference included Microsoft, Lockheed Martin, the Department of Defense's research division, Los Alamos National Laboratory, and the Office of the Vice President.

Coban is racing with other tech firms, such as the Taser manufacturer, Axon, to win lucrative contracts as police departments across the country adopt smart, predictive policing gadgets.

In the race, many surveillance technology companies have bombarded police departments with promotions for products that may not even provide benefit to officers on patrol, said David Maass, an investigative researcher at the Electronic Frontier Foundation, a civil liberties organization that focuses on technology.

“A lot of this is just snake oil," he said. "A lot of this is just police being dazzled by this stuff."
