Last week was marked by a breathtaking event that couldn’t leave untouched anybody keen on electronics and new technologies - Consumer Electronic Show or CES, that took place in Las Vegas from 05 to 08 January. All the major manufacturers gathered in a desert in order to show their latest inventions in prototypes, betas and fully functioning versions that will soon appear in stores. Let’s take a look at the most promising and interesting novelties!
Taxi is one of the most popular services today: it’s quick, comfortable, door-to-door, and the rides cost is recently quite fair. Where there’s demand, there’s supply, and the rivalry among the companies offering taxi services is very tough. One needs to have an obvious advantage over the competitors to attract and keep clients. Our customer placed his bets on the modern software, dedicated to taxi companies in the first place and harnessing the most advanced technologies for them.
The Internet of Things influences our lives more and more and provides new possibilities as well as some risks. Today we would like to tell you about one unusual project, in scope of which we developed backend, iOS and Android applications.
Recently one of our customers decided to apply the idea of images recognition to a specific domain - license plates. After being recognized, the number is sent to a special service, which provides information about the car. The information is similar to the information contained in a vehicle certificate of origin: car make and model, manufacture year, car type, VIN, motor ID… This information can be used in different fields: from detecting law violators to facilitating maintenance service and fueling questions. But before starting development of solutions for different domains, the customer decided to check out the idea and create a Proof Of Concept (POC). The idea was to demonstrate the POC to investors and gain their support before starting development. This was the request he addressed to Noveo.
