We were thrilled to sponsor a project for this year’s Vanderbilt University School of Engineering Senior Design Day. Metova’s VP of Technology Dave Lane advised four students who spent the last two semesters working on their project: the Augmented Reality Smartphone Framework for Android.
The seniors—Matthew Lavin, Ryan Robe, Robert Newton and Jacob Logan—developed an Android framework to recognize text from a camera view and provide relevant supplemental information overlaid on the screen. They created a prototype app to read business cards and find information about the contact online through LinkedIn and other sources.
Dave had a great time advising the guys on this successful project and is looking forward to sponsoring another project in the fall.
