Nokia to release Point and Find within months

Nokia Point and Find

Remember Point and Find? Revealed first at last year’s The Way We Live Next conference. Well, it’s about to hit our devices any time soon. According to Teppo Paavola we’ll be seeing Point and Find in the next few months.

The service works simply by using your phone’s camera at specific objects (for example, a movie poster) and it’ll give you back information about it. Want to know more about that movie poster? Simply point your phone’s camera at it and hit search, and let your phone do the rest.

The service uses your location to narrow down your search. This, combined with super smart image recognition make this a super-smart search service. The team aren’t ruling out other technology coming into play either, such as NFC.

Details are scant at the moment, but we can expect to see it in Beta sometime soon. The project has officially been nudged out of its research roots into a real life business.
