retrievr / qbic
Craig pointed me to retrievr. Awesome stuff! Reminds me of a Web 1.0 app called QBIC(Query By Image Content) done by the folks at IBM’s Almaden lab 10 years ago.
Looks like others are interested, too:
- TechCrunch on retrievr (…it is a really beautiful piece of technology.)
- LifeHacker’s take (What it lacks in accuracy it makes up for in fun.)
- jwz (But no mattr how many times I tried to draw boobies, it kept showing me flowrs and cats.) [In a roundabout way, I was able to find some.]
Here’s my test. Orange is my favorite color these days. Now, if I could just get an rss feed of the results…
