Innovative Technologies in Everyday Life

Part of the book series: SpringerBriefs in Computer Science ((BRIEFSCOMPUTER))

Abstract

During the past decade, there have been substantial technological advances in the ways we capture, produce, edit, share, remix, and distribute images and videos. In parallel with more sophisticated gadgets and apps, our habits have also changed, from the way we watch TV to the number of images we produce, consume, and share every day. This chapter focuses on apps, gadgets, websites, and social networks whose primary emphasis is on visual information. We present a selected set of apps and techniques used to capture, produce, edit, share, remix, and distribute images and videos. We also discuss some of the technical challenges behind the tasks of organizing, annotating, and finding relevant images and videos.
