Mobile Visual Computing

Smart phones are becoming visual computing powerhouses. Using sensors such as camera, GPS, and others, the device can provide a new user interface to the real world, augmenting user's view of the world with additional information and controls. Combining computation with image capture allows new kind of photography that can be more expressive than is possible to obtain with a traditional camera. New APIs allow harnessing more computation power of a smart phone to visual processing than what one can obtain from just a CPU.
