Evaluation Setting

• PivotHead glass captured users from the front.

• 15 users was dressed in their regular attires.

• Users actively used their smartphones.

• Phone opportunistically took “profile” pictures of the user.

Self-fingerprints may not be Sufficient

• Clothes’ difference is not captured when clothes are similar?

• Clothes have different colors/patterns at the back?

Discussion

• Privacy of opportunistic pictures

o User consent before uploading

• Overlapping users in view

o Fingerprint refinement helps

• Incremental deployment with some non-participants

o More time and mobility help

• Cloud vs p2p

o Different trade-offs

28

Conclusion

• Colors and patterns on clothes help fingerprint humans.

• Preliminary evaluation with 15 people provides promising results.

• Other type of fingerprints exists such as motion.
