IBM mobile application with augmented reality technology
IBM is testing a mobile application that “sees” products on store shelves using image recognition technology and displays information about the composition / technical characteristics / producer’s country / number of calories / and much more on the phone’s screen. And all this is complemented by a social component.
At the international exhibition CeBIT, IBM showed a test version of the application, which gives people new ways to choose shopping in stores using a smartphone.
The application (so far unnamed) is being developed in Israel, in the city of Haifa. The application is based on image recognition technology, thanks to which the program scans goods and then displays information about the product or can sort by any parameters (for example, composition or price).
')
After downloading this application, customers will be able to easily find those products that, for example, do not contain harmful substances, that every year becomes more and more popular.
IBM's augmented reality may interest not only buyers, but also sellers, since now it will be easy to find goods at a discount, goods sold by coupons, etc.
Another interesting feature is the availability of a feedback system. Those. Not only can you learn more about the product that lies in front of you, but also find out what your friends think about it. Given the popularity of social networks, it is likely that the feature of adding "seen" on Facebook or Twitter will be available.
As already mentioned, a test sample of the application was presented at the exhibition - all information was uploaded to the smartphone in advance. But at the moment an active testing period is underway, and we believe that it is not long to wait for the final release.
