Kooaba: A Visual Mobile Search

Summary:

Take a picture of something, send it to Kooaba and get information about what you see.

Kooaba is a service that enables you to get information about things you see: movie posters, paintings in museums, articles in newspapers and more - just by taking a picture of it with a mobile phone. As an example you can take a picture of a movie poster and then see the related movie trailer on your mobile phone or download its soundtrack.

Kooaba aims its service at mobile marketing, but I think they can take it alot further and could provide information about anything.

About What We Need

This is a place where I collect thoughts on gadgets, services and design that would simplify and improve daily life. Some ideas are new, some are already known. But none are completely realized, yet. Let these thoughts be an inspiration for everyone.
