JUDGES REVIEW
NIVPAT technology allows any pattern to be recognized and linked to online content. Launching with t-shirts bearing images that appear to be identical, the NIVPAT application identifies the unique profile attached to that particular shirt and links to the individual’s social media profile. The app recognizes different versions of the same image as assigned to different owners, both in-person and on screen — which could make the system work as a trigger for second screen content. Tests of the application showed a very impressive speed of image recognition, comparable to that of a QR code.
