Last week at the Nokia World 2008 event in Barcelona, Spain, I was able to get a video demonstration of Nokia’s new Point & Find technology, which is expected to hit the Beta Labs soon, for all S60-powered phones. Point & Find allows you to point your cameraphone at something and receive relevant links and information about that item.
The first example will be in conjunction with a movie studio, where consumers can point their S60-powered phones at a movie poster and instantly get local showtimes, links to the trailer, and even wallpaper downloads. It’s a really neat concept, and there will also be the opportunity for content creators to build their own ‘worlds’, where you could point your phone at the Symbian-Guru logo, for example, and get information. Very cool stuff, I’m anxious to see it available.
Here’s the video:
