Big Brother reads your lips

Een Engels ondrzoeksteam is bezig met de ontwikkeling van software waarmee spraakherkenning door middel van liplezen mogelijk wordt. Dit kan verstrekkende gevolgen hebben:

Computer-based lip-reading technology would help video surveillance systems spot people planning a crime or terror attack by literally watching suspects lips for clues. Once it finds someone speaking certain key words or sentences, the system would automatically send an alert message to a central console, mobile phone, or other communications device. Police or security agents could then be dispatched to the scene to question the individual.
