Comment on The Face Scan Arrivesparent

Comments

Perhaps, but the cameras on the VR headsets will provide even more data for the government for those who don't have an anonymous face; especially if the data is sent to a central server for processing (ala Google Glass).

Plus, unless you build the hardware entirely yourself, the headset won't save you from other tracking technologies. Presumably the headset will have a wireless chip whose MAC can be tracked, or, worse, it'll have an RFID chip specially-built for government tracking.
