Visual Search Iphone Application

Searching for something while your on the go just got easy. You can now use your iPhone’s camera to search the net  with Omoby a visual search app that allows you to take a picture of almost any object . Omoby will return a result for things such as product information, pricing, and where you can find the product online.


How to use it: Just take a clear photo of a single product and in moments you will have information about the picture you just took.

The technology behind the app is visual object search, so it doesn’t require a barcode to be scanned. CD’s and DVds seem to be the easiest find for this visual application. The application saves history, connect to  Twitter or Facebook so that you can share your new found information with  your friends; sharing via e-mail is an option as well.


Moby visual search is powered by IQ Engines’award-winning image labeling engine.
