As a shareholder, I get that not everything in research will be profitable... but I don't see how you'll be successful with this -- I don't see any ROI.
I've played with the application and in the cases that you've showcased, yes... if you have a light source behind people when taking a picture, the picture won't look great. You've come up with some clever software that helps that I guess? Playing around with it... it sure didn't do anything amazing when I was taking pictures of my dogs, and it didn't help me take better selfies -- I'll have to wait until tomorrow to test it on people.
As of right now I'm really scratching my head what the value of this is.
I know that's hard to hear, and I know it takes courage to post on Hacker News... but really guys, you're Microsoft. Figure out what you're trying to do, and put adequate resources into it. This WordPress site is pretty amateur... a flat image with text you can't read on a phone to advertise the benefits of a mobile app? No guys, that's just really really bad.
Do you not take pride in your work? Or were you rushed? Either way, why are you posting something half-baked here? You've got resources most companies on here would only dream of.
Here's a little feedback.
