Infusion's new bookstore application takes full advantage of the object recognition capabilities of Microsoft Surface. It delivers true object and pattern recognition without the use of tags or other encoding. The underlying recognition engine can be utilized in almost any Surface application.

  • I'm curious why you wouldn't use the barcode/ISBN as the identifier. Presumably it would give fewer mistaken matches as well as being a better display. Placing a book face down doesn't look nearly as good as placing it face up.

  • Hi there,

    Reading barcodes is definitely ideal for this kind of application, however Surface is currently only sensitive to 96 DPI resolution. As a result (and as far as I know), only specially designed RFID tags have been used for object recognition to date.

    The unique feature of this quickly constructed sample app is that it actually recognizes the objects based on appearance rather than affixed tags. Hopefully future Surface versions will support higher resolutions.

    Thanks!

    Paul
