New Image Search Service

January 19, 2012

Marco Vanossi is a young entrepreneur who has been creating quite a buzz thanks to his image recognition technology. According to The Next Web.com article “This 24 Year Old Brazilian Entrepreneur Wants to Disrupt Image Search” this young entrepreneur has already left his footprint in the business world. Vanossi asserts:

“Since I was only 14, my dad came along to the meeting, and Yahoo’s executives initially thought he was the “Marco Vanossi” they had scheduled a meeting with. Little did they know Marco was me, a teenager!”

Recently Marco has been working on an image recognition technology known as Clickpic. “Clickpic is an iOS app that lets users take pictures with their iPhone, which the app is able to recognize.” A new update allows Clickpic to also power face recognition apps. Another attractive option is that the Clickpic technology can also be utilized to recognize sound. Clickpic sounds like it could be useful technology but can’t make a clear cut decision. While the article praises Vanossi and his achievements which are impressive, it barely scratches the Clickpic surface.
