Augmented reality applications in the App Store is not so much. A really high quality and interesting ones - and even less. For the most part these are games that serious projects and can not be called. However, sometimes the developers released a standing focus of the project. For example, an interesting translator Word LensWho knows how to translate the text using your smartphone camera "on the fly". And what about a certain item on the picture?
Camfind - unattractive, at first glance, the app is easy to miss 90% of the users looking for something new in the Apple store applications. The name, icon and description drawn up so that the first thought that comes to mind - is "another divorce." However, looking at the "price" and the lack of built-in shopping, curiosity takes over. That's what I downloaded this app.
Surprisingly, the alleged possibility really work, but with a few caveats. Camfind - an application which, using pictures made you determine the object on it. Let's say you walk past some shops and a notice in the window of any goods. You take a picture that is loaded on the developer's server, and then recognized. After identifying your throws in the Google search engine to see the results. So you can find out about any unknown subject for you, just take his picture.
In addition, there is a standard identification methods: scanning and bar-qr-codes, voice recognition - but it has long been implemented in other applications, which is why the recognition of objects in the photographs - the most interesting. I took a few photos and found that the application coped with each of them pretty well. Photo Camfind TV gave me the result is not only that color in front of me, flat screen TV, but also its brand. Photographing a flower in the hallway, I was given an application "in the indoor green plant pot."
According to the developers, you can also take pictures of various events posters or any places in the city to get additional information about them. But, apparently, not in this country. Besides sneaking suspicion that your photo is processed not by a specialized algorithm and ordinary people who sit and "rake" the photos sent to them (perhaps not all, but some part).
In any case, as an interpreter Word Lens, The application can not be held to any particular objective to simplify your life. At the moment, it is rather a demonstration of the technology, rather than the final product. It is possible that in the future similar developments are displayed in the discharge is much more useful applications.
Nevertheless, the application is entirely free, so you can download and see for yourself that it works. At least, that's interesting.
