Face Recognition software???

Hi all,

Was sitting in the bath today and had a thought, With most pc's these days having some sort of web camera on them has a 3rd party face recognition software been created that will recognise the user in front of the computer and change the desktop (theme, background, widgets etc..) that the individual user has set up?

If not why not?

This is what i thought, it can't be very hard to do, Windows has users and there is face recognition software available, all that would need to happen is the face recognition software tells windows to switch users when it detects you face in the camera.

So simple and would be useful, maybe microsoft should create it for windows 7?

I believe there is software that uses face recognition used to let you into your PC or laptop but I dont think no more than that .I dont know how reliable it is either.
