The European Satellite Navigation Competition recently saw a winner in a product called the eye-phone which uses a combination of satellite navigation technology and Internet information to provide users with an education in the items that surround them. For example, let’s say that you were at The Eiffel Tower and wanted to know more about it. Instead of reading the signs available, you could take a photo of the tower with your eye-phone. Recognizing your location via satellite navigation and using object recognition technology, the eye-phone would figure out that it was the Eiffel Tower which interested you and would provide information to you straight through your phone. After success at the competition, the makers of the eye-phone are now moving forward with a prototype which they expect to have available this summer. They will then begin working with mobile phone operators in the hopes of having the eye-phone on the market in under two years.
