API to recognise cothes washing care instructions | |
How about... an API which works for google glasses and google goggles whereby it recognises that the user is viewing the washing machine care icons on a garment. Then it describes their meaning in text (optionally audio). Thus the user can be sure about the meanings and perhaps learn them over time.
This could also be done for a phone app. A more extreme version is whereby the washing machine has a camera on it and also has the ability to perform these actions.

Hi - Welcome to the hb.
What are google googles? |
|
| |
Maybe we should put up a sign: "Welcome to the HB
- please check your spelling." |
|
| |
As to the idea, well, yes, why not? |
|
| |
As I was readfing the idea I was getting more and more agitated: why not just get the washing machine to read the bloody labels? [+] for the welcome release of stress at the end! |
|
| |
Who pays attention to washing instructions? |
|
| |
Washing instructions could be incorporated into a bar
code on the label, or an rfid tag in the clothing.
Washing machines could be built with the
appropriate sensors. |
|
| |
cloth is generally woven, so why not use a small bit, weave the code in there? |
|
| |
If you were going to that much trouble you could make less high maintenance cloth. |
|
| |
// Then it describes their meaning in text (optionally audio) |
|
| |
I'm presuming there's a reliable off-switch, don't want to be walking down the road to an endless stream of "40 degrees, colour fast".. |
|

//"Welcome to the HB - please check your spelling."// |
|
| |
Apologies for misspelling before, the phrase should have been 'google goggles'. Updated now. |
