Pinterest Lens - Shazam for objects in the real world 📌🔎

If this will work then it's going to be the future of visual discovery. Not just objects but people and places can be identified too. But it's not that easy as it sounds.

Oooh, would love to test this out! Keep us posted on your progress.

I remember when I was leading iOS design at EyeEm and the engineering team was building the tech to enable you to recognize concepts and emotions in images. It was mind blowing to me, and can only imagine what went into the tech and process for creating Pinterest Lens. But much like Google Images, there is a limit to what most B2C products can actually do with that technology. For Pinterest, the number of DAU (content creators and consumers) + the SWARM of Data + Visual Search + Ability to convert image recognition to purchases = a gold mine and huge competition.

Partpic was already doing that, right?

Game changer

@rrhoover I can't find it. Is there a way to join the beta?

My 2 cents: keep your eyes on Amazon @rrhoover.

awesome

Does anyone actually use this ?

very interesting! the idea of utilizing Pinterest's database is awesome and would take online shopping to a whole new level, amazing!
