Paris, cos she's not a 5 pint'er...

Surely the amount of iPhones that get stolen would sky rocket if you walk around holding the damn thing in front of you like that..!?!?

The fact you look a complete twat really won't help shift this idea either.

The only way for this thing to work is direct neural input, or failing that, a more subtle eye mounted unit.

Could someone please try and explain the concept clearly? Don't think I'm getting it properly...

Or, even worse: "Gary Glitter lives here now"!

I think William Gibson deserves a bit of credit for introducing the concept. Such a pity that sci-fi novels don't count as prior art, seeing as so many patents are pure fiction.

I, for one, welcome our new geo-tagging overlords...

Blu-man, cause he looks a little like Mr. G.

...how do you get that level of positional detail? GPS is nowhere near. And not only does it need to gather your exact location to the nearest centimetre, it needs to know what direction you are pointing in, what angle you are looking at, and what the field of view angle is, to be able to tag things correctly. Oh, and it all needs to work indoors as well as out.

And most tags will become immediately redundant - there's no point in tagging a specific product on a shop's shelf, because within a week there might be different products.

By the look of the video, it is using artificial intelligence to recognise items by the photo, as well as positional data; being able to run this kind of software on a handheld device is a long, long way away.

whatever happened to tagandscan?
