Info-eye™

The Info-eye™ application helps you search for information about things around you

using your camera viewfinder. For example, you can snap a photo of a landmark and

receive information about it right on your screen. Or you can take a photo of a book or

scan a QR code and get background information instantly.

Info-eye™ can only recognize selected landmarks or objects.
