LEVERAGING PHYSICAL HANDSHAKING IN HEAD MOUNTED DISPLAYS

A system, a method, and a computer program product for managing information for an interface device are provided. The system detects for one of a present physical encounter between a user of the interface device and a person, and a non-physical encounter between the user and a person. The system determines if a detected present physical encounter is an initial encounter or a subsequent encounter, and adds content associated with the person to a database of previously encountered persons when the present physical encounter is an initial encounter. When the present physical encounter is a subsequent encounter or a present non-physical encounter is detected, the system determines if the person is known by the user, and presents information to the interface device corresponding to the person when the person is not known by the user.
