I wonder if the augmented reality tech that Yelp is using on the iphone could be overlaid on a Justin.tv stream. Anyone watching a stream could click on a business in the video and connect to their site|Opentable|Yelp. If we could get solid object recognition working we could link to Amazon product pages (revenue!!) or such. Find a bottle of Pepsi|Coke in a stream, click on it, get a coupon for .50 off your next Whopper meal with a large soda. (revenue??)
- abstractbill 17y agoI'm pretty sure this is technically possible. Eric and I both worked hard to get around Flash's often insane security stuff and make sure the bitmap of the video stream is available if you want it. So you should be able to just grab the bitmap periodically, do some computation on it, and then overlay whatever you want in a Flash layer that sits on top of our video layer. I think jtv augmented reality apps would be great!
