Amazons Flow App Brings Barcode Scanning & Augmented Reality To Android Users
Amazon Flow, the barcode scanning/augmented reality app from Amazon subsidiary A9.com, has arrived on Android today, following its November 2011 iOS debut. To refresh your memory, the app lets shoppers scan things like CDs, DVDs, books, toys, video games, and more using their smartphone's camera in order to display product details and pricing info.Barcode scanning, however, is not unique to Amazon Flow - the feature is also available in Amazon's flagship application, which is the more popular of the two. But Flow does something special - it supports an augmented reality view of some products, which uses image recognition techniques to show movie trailers and other media previews.Original Link: http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/Techcrunch/~3/WG62h7GmCPg/
