It kind of feels like facial recognition is turning up everywhere nowadays, and now it’s even on Hulu . We last checked in with Hulu Labs when it launched a 10-foot UI for PC viewers , and now it’s back putting clickable squares on every actor’s face that immediately pull up their background info, as seen above. Up to now, the feature is simply manage for several episodes of Glee, The Office, Wilfred, Modern Family and Lost, and it’s completely optional, seek a more moderen show and punch the settings button to show it on. It pulls info from Wikipedia, lists a few of the actor’s biggest roles or even links to Facebook and Twitter accounts now and again. While its easy to exploit, on a computer it feels similar to overkill (with IMDB and Google always a click away how much time are we saving?) however it worked effectively within the episode of The Office we watched — US residents can take a peek at it embedded after the break.
