iVisit SeeScan Image Recognition and Augmented Reality for the Blind

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.
