Zurich’s Kooaba at TC 50
September 15, 2009
Thanks to our Technopark neighbours from kooaba, tearing out newspaper pages and having difficulties finding them belongs to the past. If you have an iPhone or an Android operated smartphone you can collect and store interesting print articles (with full text search and other features), just by “clipping” them with kooaba’s mobile application.
After the picture has been taken and transmitted, kooaba’s image recognition technology comes into play: it recognizes the article from the users picture and returns the full original electronic version of the page. The page is also automatically added to the user’s online collection on www.kooaba.com. This online collection – in contrast to the traditional stack of paper – takes no physical space, it is neatly organized, and it is easily searchable using full-text search.
Like this? Watch Mike Butcher’s intervew with Herbert fresh from TC50! And listen carefully how Mike takes the Franko-British approach to pronouncing Herbert’sname: Höörbeéé!!! Wonderful.
