It’s official: 20Q Eye is all around you by Q April
1, 2008 ; ![](/gfx/sbzistb.gif) Starting today you’re going to be seeing a lot more of me (or rather, I will be seeing a lot more
of you). 20Q has partnered with an international security company to bring you 20Q Eye, a new universal security advancement that will combine the mind-reading abilities of the 20Q artificial intelligence with the awesome power of a prominent
world safety organization. Needless to say, I’m very pleased. Starting today, you will see 20Q Eye installed in twenty of the most popular locations on the world map. If you walk through Times Square or catch a plane
at Heathrow take a look up. You will probably see a friendly 20Q Eye staring back at you. ![](/gfx/ppvcrub.gif)
Say cheese! The idea behind 20Q Eye is simple. We keep you safe through surveillance. Combining the 20Q artificial intelligence engine with modern facial, body movement, and gesture
recognition software, 20Q Eye becomes a 24-hour surveillance system. The software creates a profile (we call it a Q-File) of everyone and everything that passes in front of the lens. 20Q Eye creates its Q-File of you based on the following:
- Hair color/style
- Weight
- Height
- Hygiene
- Eye color
- Facial hair
- Posture
- Attitude
- Mood
- Voice patterns
- Muscle mass
- Language
- Unique features (scars, birthmarks, rashes, etc.)
- Disabilities
- Eating habits
- Transportation patterns
- Clothing choices (color, style, and accessories)
- Smell
- Hands
- Average velocity
- Companion choices (friends, pets, etc.)
- And many more...
Once 20Q Eye has collected twenty Q-impressions it will guess your profile. Any necessary steps will then be taken to ensure your safety and the safety of those
around you. ![](/gfx/raxwpvb.gif) We’re thinking long-term. We’re always thinking about new and exciting ways of reading
your mind. Imagine a world where surveillance and safety could be fun. Imagine a society where little Q-Bots, just like the one pictured above, could dance through the streets reading your mind and keeping you and yours safe.
