Brandscan

Inspiration

The unconvential attraction track, we wanted to highlight the unexpected and often sinister connections between all the products we use.

What it does

Uses the users on device camera to scan a barcode and produces a graph view of all the relationships.

How we built it

Built using Googles on device barcode scanning computer vision API as well as access to a barcode lookup api and on device database of company relationships

Challenges we ran into

Getting a response from the API........

Accomplishments that we're proud of

The UI as well as the fact 90% is local to the device allowing use offline.

What we learned

CV can be very powerful and very easily integrated into apps and that android dev is hard.

What's next for Brandscan

Correctly identifying shell companies or companies with very many subsidiaries and showing this information on the graph view.
