Color Identifier

I had a coffee this morning with my friend Anil de Mello, he lives in Madrid and it's always such a pleasure when he comes through Geneva. He demonstrated this new mobile ap he has downloaded onto his Nokia 6600 cameraphone, called vOICe, developed by wireless technology company, SeeingwithSound - which was actually written up by the BBC a while ago.

Anil aimed his cameraphone onto the tablecloth and the color name was spoken. It wasn't really audible, there was too much noise all around. But it was pretty cool.

"vOICe works by translating images from a camera on-the-fly into highly complex soundscapes, which are then transmitted to the user over headphones. (BBC)
