We are very excited to announce the release of LinkApic beta to the Android market. Please check the Android App page for all you’d like to know about the app.

The digital revolution has changed the world for better in the less than two decades. Do you remember 1996? From dial-up to 4G mobile Internet, we sure have made a great progress in a span of less than 15 years. The problem, however, is that the two worlds, real and digital, are still by-and-large separate. Need we say that the digital world (read Internet) has seen tremendous growth with billions of websites and information about almost anything? Still, the real world is bigger. Much bigger. We live in the real world. The digital world still lives inside the Laptop or the iPad or the Android phone.

So far we have brought many of the good things from the real world to the digital. It started by being able to write letters (i.e., email). Later we started shopping for everything online. And today we can socialize in the digital world. So now is the payback time; time to bring the good things from the digital world to the real. Wouldn’t it be cool to be able to navigate the real world by “clicking” on hyperlinks placed by someone? OK, let’s go back one. We believe that the physical and the digital worlds should be much more connected. The real world should not be totally disconnected from the digital, the way it is now. The interaction should be smooth and rewarding.

And we are playing our part. With computer vision and image recognition technology, we wish to enable user-generated searchable visual database. We aim to create a vast repository of tags and hyperlinks placed in the real world, let you navigate them, and create a democratic platform for you to decide what you see. Think wikipedia of the real world.

And this is happening today! Did we tell you that LinkApic Beta is now available on the Android Market? Go ahead, play around, and send us your feedback to info{at}linkapic.com!
