RealUser.com was a company that offered an authentication service based on face recognition. (I assume the past tense is appropriate here, I can no longer get to their web site.) When you signed up for the service, you were assigned 4 people and you went through a short "introduction" to them via an image of each of their faces.

It was amazing how quick it was to learn the faces and how unerringly I could pick them out of a grid of unfamiliar faces. Apparently facial recognition is evolutionarily important and we therefore have large portions of grey matter devoted to the task.

Anyway, the idea was that to provide universal secure login for web applications, kind of like passport with a friendly face (groan).

I helped them develop a simple SDK for ASP (the coding was mostly done when I got there), and document installing and configuring it so that webmasters could integrate realuser logins with their own websites.
