Hey all,

what are the limitations on what can be done with information in headmem?

For example if I have a headmem archive of images, and I take a picture of someone with an eyecam, can I run a facial recognition search program to see if they match any other pictures?

How long would it take?

Can I do other things while it is happening?

What about voiceprint searches?

What if I have a knowsoft of, say, a newspaper archive. Could I run a search against images to see if someone has ever been in the paper? What about text searches?

In game this would come up in situations where I meet a Johnson, and I want to see if he has ever appeared in the paper. Knowing that Johnson appeared in a groupshot at an Ares social function, while he is claiming to be from Renraku is potentially valuable information :)

If the above is not possible, is there any ware I can get to make it possible?
