Instant object recognition

About three months ago, ipplex, a technology startup I work with released a real-time Money Reader app for Blind users that has been recognized by major publications and blogs, and has a 5 star rating in the app store. You can see a quick in office demo of it here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lvfDnGMPrkI I wasn't active on HN then, but I thought the community may enjoy seeing some very early real world applications of real time object recognition. We are working on bringing this to all kinds of objects as well as landmarks, and incorporating some really interesting things to make this…

What it does

In the maker’s words, at launch

About three months ago, ipplex, a technology startup I work with released a real-time Money Reader app for Blind users that has been recognized by major publications and blogs, and has a 5 star rating in the app store. You can see a quick in office demo of it here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lvfDnGMPrkI I wasn't active on HN then, but I thought the community may enjoy seeing some very early real world applications of real time object recognition. We are working on bringing this to all kinds of objects as well as landmarks, and incorporating some really interesting things to make this useful for consumers. Think of it as live search. I'll keep the community updated with interesting milestones as this progresses. By the way, we need a few hackers in Los Angles to help us with this! http://www.ipplex.com/careers

    Experimental Mac app for reading HN2011 · ▲20

    Yesterday I decided I wanted to experiment with different ways of reading HN. After considering a few options, I settled on a Mac app and spent a couple of hours planning/sketching on paper. This morning I fired up Xcode and spent 4 hours hacking away and I must say I'm liking how it's looking. Since the project is in its very early stages, I though that it could be a very good time to get some feedback. I've posted a few screenshots at http://imgur.com/a/rCbVN and uploaded a binary at http://abra.rm-fr.net/~fiam/HackerNews.zip If you have some free time, give a try and let me know what you…
