Of the demo of the walking miniature horse the cube I was holding was a block of wood with paper black and white images glued to it. A kindergarten kid could have made it. There was no RFID. I'm guessing it must work off a highly specialised OCR algorithm but instead of trying to decipher 26 letters, 10 numerals and a handful of punctuation marks; it is just one, or 6 in the case of a cube, but from multiple angles and orientation. In the case of a cube the angle never has to be less than 45° because once you go below that another side/image becomes dominant as it rises above 45°. An improvement on the QR Code algorithm maybe? Always appreciate your glass half full (if not overflowing) viewpoint Richard :-) _______________________________________________ use-livecode mailing list use-livecode@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-livecode
