Accenture demos the 'Pocket Supercomputer'

For the demonstration in Accenture's labs in Nice on Tuesday, Linaker used a laptop running Windows XP.

The video search can be set up to access any type of image that is in the database. For example, the technology can recognise an image of a painting; Linaker demonstrated using an image of Vermeer's Girl with a Pearl Earring. When the camera on the phone took video images of the painting, a search of the database returned results giving information about the painting, and linked the phone to the recent film of the same title.
