Respectful Cameras

From Technology Review:
A camera system developed at Berkeley is capable of obscuring faces. The project is called Respectful Cameras.

The only drawback is this technology currently requires people to wear a marker (such as a hat or vest) to block their faces. Nevertheless, it is interesting research and hopefully just a precursor to other privacy enhancing technologies. Here is a image of the technology at work from the article:
