Dude, make this work with online shopping.
This is probably hard since most product shots are perspective, but it would be awesome if I could point to an image at some online store and type in the dimensions and you scaled that photo to actual size.
Here's a product category where it'd be useful (and where the photos are mostly straight on): http://www.amazon.com/Canon-PowerShot-SD1000-Digital-Optical/dp/B000NK8EWI/ http://www.amazon.com/Canon-PowerShot-SD1000-Digital-Optical...
- ptm 18y agoAmazon does have an API with access to a front-shot image and dimensions. If I could figure out the bounds of the product (in the image), then I could automate the whole process.
- LogicHoleFlaw 18y agoYou could do great things with macro-photography here.
- prakash 18y agoExtending the online shopping idea a bit, this would be of great use for folks buying jewelry, watches, etc. online. Let's say you are buying a watch, amazon has images, but those are not actual sizes; although amazon lists the dimensions separately. Having the actual image size would, in my opinion increase sales in this category. Also, check if you can integrate any of this with like.com. Good idea, good luck!
