SnapLink
SnapLink is a image-based appliance control system. It allows users to capture an image of an appliance using a smartphone to identify and and overlays its control interface. It uses image localization to identify the specific instance of the appliance, and is optimized to perform minimal computation and use context information for both accurate and fast responses.
