You’re on vacation and see an interesting looking building and want to know more about it. With new technology, you can simply take a picture of it with your phone and the eyePhone program will recognize the location and give you details about it. EyePhone was a a regional winner in the European Satellite Navigation Competition, sponsored by the European Space Agency’s Technology Transfer Program.rnrn

EyePhone was developed by Ernst Pechtl and Hans Geiger, co-owners of SuperWise Technologies AG. SuperWise developed the basic image-recognition system called Apollo that makes eyePhone work.

To use iPhone, you focus on an interesting location.

EyePhone will recognize objects in the photo such as the two towers.

Select the object with your cursor.

Again, it gives the tourist a quick explanation of what they’re taking a picture of.
