NEW YORK, NY — (Marketwired) — 06/09/16 — , a technology company building a visual discovery browser through artificial intelligence and augmented reality, today launched Blipparsphere, its new, proprietary knowledge graph technology, live now in the Blippar app. Blipparsphere builds on the company–s existing machine learning and computer vision capabilities to deepen and personalize information about a user–s physical surroundings, providing a true visual discovery browser through the Blippar app.
The addition of a knowledge graph comes alongside other upgrades which further the company–s vision for a world in which everyday people are empowered with access to unlimited knowledge of their surroundings, regardless of language or education. Blipparsphere is live now in the Blippar app for iOS and Android. To view a demo of the new Blippar experience, visit .
“The development of Blipparsphere is a major breakthrough for visual discovery as the next evolution beyond search,” said Ambarish Mitra, Blippar Co-Founder and CEO. “The combination of our knowledge graph along with computer vision technology allows us to significantly scale what we–ve already accomplished with augmented reality and deliver faster, more accurate recognition and deeper, tailored content around the images and objects we encounter in our daily lives.”
With the introduction of Blipparsphere, the Blippar app is driving a new discovery behavior distinct from traditional search. While search is driven by specific queries based on keywords, discovery is based around spontaneous curiosity with something in front of a user in the real world.
“The new discovery behavior we are powering through today–s update matches natural human thought patterns,” Mitra further commented. “When you blipp something, it connects you to new things to see and information demonstrating how the original object or image is connected to everything else. This allows users to start their journey of spontaneous curiosity on something as mundane as a drinking glass, but end up in President Obama–s blipp by hopping around the Blipparsphere from one related entity to another. This is a fun way to learn about your surroundings and even find excuses to blipp ordinary things and discover extraordinary facts and stories.”
Upon blipping an object, users of the Blippar app will be delivered a seamless “light web” experience with relevant and related organic results about an object, or branded content and augmented reality experiences from brands, publishers and advertisers. After their initial interaction, users are directed toward additional topics related to their surroundings and personal interests, providing a discovery platform to learn, experience, and share in a powerful and easy new way.
