Social media and digital interactive environments have never been an environment that provides opportunities such as entertainment, spending time and socializing. Beyond that, the data was collected on this occasion and used for various activities without our permission, especially commercial activities. Technology and media companies are working in this direction, wanting more for the future.
Ray-Ban Stories glasses, developed within the scope of Facebook Reality Labs, implemented by Facebook in the field of virtual and augmented reality, started to be offered for sale recently. In its statement, Facebook promises that the product will make life practical and make life unforgettable by recording all moments, but due to the company’s loss of confidence in the security of personal data, the product made some people nervous. The Ego4D project, which Facebook is working on, seems to increase these concerns.
“First of its kind”
The Ego4D project was introduced in a video posted on the Facebook AI YouTube channel. The aim of the project and the products in question is to make people’s daily lives easier. For example, questions such as where did I forget my key, who said this word or how did I do this before are answered, and a more detailed analysis of the moments encountered in daily life is provided.
The Ego4D project also appears as a dataset. This dataset, which Facebook worked with 13 universities to collect, is the largest ever created. Facebook AI research scientist Kristen Grauman said the dataset is the first of its kind in terms of both scale and diversity. While these developments scare in terms of personal data, they also excite them for the future.
