[App] Flow Powered

Flow Powered by Amazon is an augmented reality app that lets you discover information about everyday products around you.

With Flow Powered you can identify tens of millions of products, including books, DVDs, and packaged household items like a box of cereal or a box of tissues.

To get started, point your camera at
– Book covers
– Video games
– DVDs & CDs
– Packaged goods like games and toys
– A box of cereal.

Flow will also decode
– UPC barcodes
– QR codes.

Flow uses A9.com’s continuous scan technology to automatically recognize items available on Amazon.com, and overlay product information using augmented reality.

Once you launch the app, aim your camera towards the items you want to identify. Flow will begin recognizing items immediately. Move your phone from one product to the next, and information is automatically delivered to the screen. For some products, media previews, like audio clips or video clips can be viewed almost instantly.

If you want to learn more about a given item, or find out about related items, or read customer reviews, tap on the product information preview that appears on the screen. You can also share product details with friends via email, or Twitter, or make purchases on Amazon.com.

Flow’s app menu lets you trigger its History, among other features, giving you access to all your scanned items, sorted by date, product category, item name, or scan type.

Flow Powered user reviews :

Google Goggles works better, can scan book covers and get an image search; Flow appears to require a UPC

Nice app but useless if Amazon don’t sell the product plus doesn’t recognize anything unless I scanned the barcode. Google Shopper is better.
