Smart camera applications, ETH Zurich

There’s much more to the camera in a mobile phone than only a device for taking photos. The value of the camera phone above and beyond a digital camera is the result of integration of the camera with other mobile handset hardware and software, and services.

In this meeting we will be describing and discussing the many applications, native and which may be added to the camera phone by the user, that enrich images, extract information from the user’s environment and add to the utility and fun of mobile platforms.

Format: presentations will be followed with interactive demonstrations during our casual, informal networking and refreshments.
