I'm told by a friend I know well that he bought this and it really works. 
It's free in demo mode, and only something like $5 or $10 for the 
dictionaries each way.

On a *phone* yet!

  I wonder how many people dismiss that demo video as "clearly fake" and
never even consider checking it out.

That's probably why the demo is free.

Wouldn't that freak someone out, tho, to turn on the demo to "reverse all 
the words" or something, then let someone watch you shoot video? Almost as 
good as turning all the images on the net upside down for the guy stealing 
your wireless.

  Wouldn't a better tactic be to simply put a password?

That would certainly be less amusing.

Apparently one of my office mate's friends wrote this.  It looks pretty 
impressive, and he clearly put a lot of effort into polishing it.  I'm 
also happy that computer vision is finally getting to the point that 
cool products can be made from it.
