Last week we released some iOS sample code for our image recognition platform. This week we updated the code to make it even easier to get started. We also added a little feature which let’s you demo your app really quickly.

The new version of the sample code watches out for a special key (“redirect_url”) in the item meta-data. If you populate the data of this key with a URL in your meta-data, upon recognition of the item this URL is shown directly. You can also switch between a debug and a demo mode. This way you can have an image recognition iOS app ready for demoing to your boss within 10 minutes.

We made a little screencast of the complete workflow. The iOS part starts at minute 3:30.
