Question

Is there any possible way to develop and implement an app that will only show us text message/details on the camera screen:

1. When we are pointing our devices on that particular object.
2. When we have set the distance between the user and the object say 20 metres.

I know we can use image recognition to do this but I was wondering if there is any other feasible approach? Any suggestions would highly appreciated.

Thanks.

This sounds a lot like Google Goggles. You take a picture, it gets scanned in the phone, and it tells you what the object is.

I think what you’re asking though, is more like this, though. This camera takes a picture of whatever it’s looking at, and prints out what you’re seeing in text. Maybe that can point you in the right direction.
