Reminds me a lot of "Super Sad True Love Story" (don't judge me!) which is a novel that basically takes a terribly cynical view of near-future America. It's set maybe 20 years in the future and everyone has things like this and they are all linked through Facebook-like apps. So you walk into a bar, look at someone and immediately see their profile and "stats" including ratings given to them by other people who saw them on their own HUDs. (They additionally measure bio-feedback, like heartrate, so some ratings are automated...) You walk into a bar and can immediately tell what your rating is relative to everyone else in the bar ("Geez, I'm coming up as a 4 and everyone else here is a 9 or 10. Let's go to that other bar...")
Coming soon!
