My name is Tom Higgins. I'm 17 years old and I made Prism with my co-founder, Karen Kolkey, who is 15.
With Prism, we're hoping to take Augmented Reality mainstream by making an app that reliably gives you useful information about what you see. Most AR apps are fun, but not particularly useful. We're going to change that.
Currently, Prism can do all of the below:
— Display information about nearby places in augmented reality.
— Identify anything
— Translate text in the camera view
Prism is completely free and easy to use.
If you have any questions about Prism or want to get in touch, send me an email at tomhiggins@promethea.xyz or comment below.
Wow, that's a really cool idea and I've been using the app already for a while.
A question: I read your tweet where you said, "Can't wait to take it off the smartphone" -- what does that mean? Where do you see the future of your software/product?
Karen and I think that Prism is best suited to AR glasses.
The future of Prism (and any kind of AR) certainly lies there. We're very interested in developing our own AR glasses in the future— our focus on the utility of the AR gives us an immediate leg up.
