Amazon’s Flow iPhone App Brings Augmented Reality To Barcode Scanning And Product Search

Flow uses augmented reality to help users explore and discover tens of millions of products in a real world setting, including books, DVDs, packaged electronics and toys, to give shoppers interactive product information about these items in the real world. Here’s how it works. Once downloaded, you can point the app toward a book, video game, CD, DVD or other product with a UPC barcode. When the app recognized the product, it will display the Amazon.com product information, including the option to play multimedia content and read customer reviews.

For some products, you’ll be able to see trailers and other media previews in the app. “This is our first step towards integrating product search technology with augmented reality,” said Bill Stasior, president of A9.com. Of course, Amazon is timing the release of this app right as the holiday shopping season kicks off. Facebook Co-Founder Eduardo Saverin Leads $7M Round In Scanning And Product Search App ShopSavvy.
