Pretty interesting concept. Imagine a blind or visually impaired user that needs visual assistance using their mobile phone as their virtual pair of eyes. I don’t know how they manage to get the mobile processor to do the real time image recognition but I bet they have a whole slew of upcoming technologies taking advantage of augmented reality scenarios with geo-located image overlays and a database of products for the blind to access and identify.

Check out iVisit to see their consumer level face-to-face video chat application that works cross carrier 3G and WiFi. http://www.ivisit.com or pr@ivisit.com

And did you guys know they also won CTIA E-Tech’s Enterprise Health vertical in 2009? I bet this is a great health app when they actually market it in this segment…
