My Face Is So Popular It’s Red

by Shawn @ 1:09 am · filed under Tech Stuff, Blogs

I don't recall how I came across this image, but I was rather surprised to see it randomly (considering it's me)...

Some sort of heat map where people look at an image, and decide what's the most interesting part of it by clicking somewhere on it...

So people thought my face was interesting I guess... either that or they knew their click would register a red dot and were just trying to cover my face up. :)

The original image was taken from this blog (over here).

    I would be more concerned at the red dots trying to look down your pant and up your skirt (nice skirt, btw…) And what’s up with the foot fetish people that are trying to check out your toes?! Ewwwwwww!

    oooh, summer, you’re right. His feet are really nice, maybe even delectable if I may be so bold.

    It actually looks like an eye-tracking result… all the red spots are points of interest… paintings, books, face, body, even your toes. Where the red dots are greater density/frequency, that’s where people are looking.

    Like this:

    “This image of George Brett was part of a larger page with his biographical information. All users tested looked the image, but there was a distinct difference in focus between men and women.”

    From here at the bottom of the page:

    I like that the guys all looked at his package… lots of dots on your butt too!

    8-)

    Hmmm… so how would you explain all of the red dots on the walls? I mean… they’re just walls right?

    This is so content spam but I just wanted to brag about it. Currently the picture of Antonella Barba is the most popular picture. http://www.favoritepart.com/Result.aspx?img=276&alt=favorite%20Antonella%20Barba%20Topless

    That’s over 28,000 points dynamically added to an image in less than a second! Not bad for a single processor Celeron Machine and a SQL-Express database!

    Actually I changed it to a heat map so now your face is “Blue with Envy”.
