Would you like instant access to information on the buildings and scenery you see on your travels? A novel mobile phone program that is able to provide information on what you see when you see it, was a regional winner in the European Satellite Navigation Competition, sponsored by ESA’s Technology Transfer Program.

This novel use of satellite technology, created by Ernst Pechtl and Hans Geiger, combines three of today’s modern technologies: satellite navigation localization services, advanced object recognition and relevant internet retrieved information.
Ernst Pechtl, and Hans Geiger are co-owners of the company Super Wise Technologies AG, which has developed the Apollo image-recognition system that lies behind the eye-Phone.
How does it work? If you see something interesting while out walking for instance, you take a photograph with your mobile phone, select the item of interest with the cursor and in real time preprocessed information on the object selected is sent to your mobile phone.
