Description

Describe the feature you'd like to request

It is often useful to be able to know who appears in a picture. This could be done via a tab in the sidebar that lists the persons found.

Describe the solution you'd like

Much like the facerecognition app does, it would be very handy to have a "People" (or "Recognize") tab in which we could find the list of people found in the picture with a small thumbnail of the face.
On hover the corresponding face could be highlighted (framed) on the main picture similar to the Facebook identification.

Describe alternatives you've considered

The memories app does have the ability to show where the person face was found but only in the thumbnail and there is currently no way to see who appears in a specific file.

Research direction

Start by reviewing the existing picture sidebar and the face-recognition behavior referenced from the facerecognition app. Determine how recognized people and face locations are exposed for a specific file, then add a People or Recognize tab with thumbnails, face highlighting on hover, and coverage for the completed interaction.
