Image recognition API by Kooaba
Nautic3l
Kooaba, a Swiss image recognition start-up, yesterday announced their APIW. The concept is simple, you take a picture of an item (CD, book, filmposter, etc.) and Kooaba finds you al the information known about that item. With them now opening it up with an API with a database that has 10 million images. I see dead people, …ehm possibilities :).

WebGL? Anyone?
Arri
i’m asking myself where i’ve been, because before last week i had never heard of it.
going through the WebKit sources, i noticed several filenames containing OpenGL-terminology.
names like DOMWebGLTexture.h, JSWebGLShader.cpp, JSWebGLRenderingContext.h etc..some googling brought me to the khronos site, where a draft specification can be found.
WebGL - OpenGL ES 2.0 for the Web. WebGL is a royalty-free, cross-platform API that brings OpenGL ES 2.0 to the web as a 3D drawing context within HTML, exposed as low-level Document Object Model interfaces. It uses the OpenGL shading language, GLSL ES, and can be cleanly combined with other web content that is layered on top or underneath the 3D content. It is ideally suited for dynamic 3D web applications in the JavaScript programming language, and will be fully integrated in leading web browsers.
It’s already (partly) functional in WebKit (Safari,Chrome) and Mozilla nightly builds.
Checkout this screen recording. (failed to embed the video??)
OpenGL and shaders with javascript •_+ yeahUpdate:
looking at the specification i realise that the first draft was only published last December, so i’m not really the moron i thought..
it’s also interesting to note that the editor is “Chris Marrin (Apple Inc.)”. -
Google goes social with Google Buzz
Nautic3l
Google today launched another product, called Google Buzz. This social layer within Gmail gives you the possibility to share status updates, photos and videos with your contacts or a private group. It can also aggregate feeds from services like FlickrW and TwitterW and filters them for you on relevance. I’m missing probably a lot more what you can do with Buzz. The only thing that’s on my mind is, that this data hunger from Google is getting out of control…
