Microsoft Comes Up With Age Detection Tool



The software giant has come up with a new tool which detects the gender and age of the people present in the matter than it under the tool's scrutiny.

Microsoft Corporation is famous for coming up with new ideas and features that amuse the users to no end. As per recent software news, the software giant has managed to come up with a new age detection feature which has been named ‘HowOldRobot’ in the Bing search options where users can upload a picture which will then be scanned by the age detecting tool. The picture can also be a part of the search results and this tool will then determine the gender and age of the subject that is present in the image being scrutinized. The feature was first announced by the software firm at the Microsoft Build Developer Conference.

Along with this announcement, an early stage of a ‘bot’ was also announce which was reportedly was a show to exhibit how the Microsoft business was working successfully with the tool that could recognize faces in a perfect manner. This new tool has been deemed as quite an interesting and fun application to be used by the users. Joseph Sirosh, who is the vice president of the country, was seen to announce that just by submitting pictures to this user interface, the online users will be able to see how the app works by detecting the gender and age of the person in the picture, which makes it all the more interesting as to how this app really works.

Users who are using the Bing search engine to make their researchers can use this new tool by opting for the HowOldRobot option available at the side of the page and whatever they search through the search engine site can be scrutinized by the tool which will then let the user know the gender and age of the people appearing in the search results.

The users, on the other hand, can also put in their own pictures to see how well and accurate the tool is. They will also be given the option to apply this feature to all their search results that they make through Bing. If they want, the users can also take pictures through their webcam right there and then or they can just upload a photograph that already exists in their hardware. One thing that should be taken into notice is that the tool only will be detecting pictures that are up to 3MB.

One more perk of this tool is that the updated version that is provided by Microsoft software can also be used by the customers on their personal computers as well as on their smartphones, without paying a penny for it.
