Hallo Scott, yes, you could identify the triangle. It has a clear structure and if it is presented on a one-colored background, you will see it by tapping onto the picture. In real life photographies, however, it might be much harder, since you often do not have taht clear borders.
The life scan mode might be also interesting for exploring your environment. Since it is based on camera images, you can also scan distant objects. I was once sitting on a bench and played around with the ColorVisor. I was able to distinguish between the grey stone path and the green gras next to it and could folow the path with the camera. If course, this method is very slow and of course not the ultimate solution, but it was quite nice. Greetings Jan --- ColorVisor - The app to identify colors.
