Mass consumption of television is now easier than ever thanks to streaming services like Netflix, however, with this comes a mass amount of information and visuals that can be difficult for an individual to process, which is why one product developer created WhatsHisFace -- an extension that can recognize the faces of on-screen actors.
The frustrating experience of seeing a familiar face and being unable to place it could soon come to an end, with this extension that can display the names of actors seen on the screen. While watching a Netflix show, users can simply hit CTR + Shift + E, and the extension will use its facial recognition technology to identify each actor's face.
