G+_Gadgetscrine Posted August 12, 2013 Share Posted August 12, 2013 The Lost Dog Business gets an upgrade with Facial Recognition and GPS apps Two apps designed to make finding your lost dog, one using facial recognition technology and the other incorporating Google Maps GPS data. Finding Rover, created by US couple John and Kristie Polimeno, is perhaps the most intriguing of the two, mainly because it incorporates something called a "bark button". This is designed to get your mutt's attention -- you press it, it plays a recorded bark, your dog looks in your direction -- so you can take advantage of a photo opportunity. There's a patent pending for the technology behind it called Pet Match, a machine learning system developed at the University of Utah over two years and funded by the Polimenos. http://www.gadgetscrine.com/2013/08/the-lost-dog-business-gets-upgrade-with.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
