It is actually by Sebastien Marcel at IDIAP, not Google, but it is a nice little application of face detection. Basically you can type anything you like into the search box, and the site will search Google Images for your search term, and return any faces it finds in the images. Sebastien did an interview on Google Blogoscoped, which is where I have just heard about this. BananaScreen was also mentioned, a fun little application that locks and unlocks your winxp computer based on if it recognises you in the webcam!

The new system features face-recognition technology for camera-enabled cell phones and other devices as an alternative to passwords or fingerprint scanners for security and access control. However, as mobile units enabled with the ‘OKAO Vision Face Recognition Sensor’ require no additional hardware, ‘OKAO’ technology offers a biometric security software solution at a reduced cost.
