Camera Phones Get Hand-Written Messages

22nd September 2003

Europe : Paris-based start-up Realeyes3D announced at the DEMOmobile 2003 conference in San Diego two new messaging applications. "By themselves, these applications could justify the purchase of a camera phone", according to Chris Shipley, executive producer of DEMOmobile.

"We have combined complex mathematical image processing techniques in a unique way, and implemented them on highly-constrained platforms, to create patented products that find and extract hand-writing within any image. This allows users of our products to exploit all the richness of hand-writing in their mobile communications." says Martin Lefebure, co-founder and chief scientist.

Phone2Fun Digitizer allows camera phones users to send hand-written wireless messages with text, drawings or pre-printed information, effectively using their phone as a "connected scanner". "Wireless messaging has proved to have great market potential, despite its many limitations. Although picture and video messaging have brought new ways to enrich message content, we still lack an easy and affordable way to send hand-written messages," said Ms. Shipley. " Realeyes3D offers an innovative, disruptive technology that brings hand-written messaging to the mobile platform, as a credible alternative to typed-text messaging."

Phone2Fun Postcard enables camera phones users to create their own, personalized wireless postcards on the spot, by adding hand-written or comments to the images they have taken, and transmitting them, using picture messaging or email. Phone2Fun Digitizer and Phone2Fun Postcard are optimized for phone-to- phone messaging, providing mass-market design and usability, quick end-user response time, and optimized resulting image size optimized in a small footprint.

"We operate at the junction of the dynamic market segments of camera phones, wireless messaging and mobile data applications," said Benoit Bergeret, co-founder and general manager of Realeyes3D. "The wireless industry has matured lately to a point where infrastructure can support new end-user oriented services. Handset manufacturers seeking differentiation have shown great interest so far, as have leading wireless carriers world-wide."
