Scenario: Your in a retail shop your interested in buying a product. You hold your phone up to the product and via the magic of the camera identifying the product the following scenario could happen:
The ability for the smartphone to respond when near specific items in a shop for example with discounts are displayed on similar items.
This should include:
Product item information
Price
Discounts related to the store
User comments
Information from other Smartphone users if they have just bought the product, for example using technologys such as twitter for a quick snapshot of opinions and a count of the people instore who may have purchased this item to encourge further product interest.
Highlighting a salesperson in store who may be an expert on the product.
The ability to make a purchase through the phone which is instantly verified and the shop alerted to the fact the product has been bought.
This idea could be expanded further. However at this point in time the technology to produce this application is in development at Nokia, i can’t wait for the next generation of phones imagine the applications we could create.
One to watch for the future but ideally i would like to see this feature emerging in smartphones within 2010.
