In the article written by Golan Levin and the speech he gave at Ted Talk, he mentioned how the interaction and communication between human and machine are now utilizing more and more human senses. From the basic body movement, the moving of the arm and body, to using facial expression recognizing motions, and now to mouth and eyes. All of these projects contains two parts, the machine, and the human. Whatever technology or project is created, they are created to help human.

The project I was interested while researching is the Visual lens technique. Several companies are using this technique now and it has helped a lot of people. The one I’ll be focusing on illustrating is the Pinterest Lens.
Pinterest Lens is a function designed to help people search for items using visual recognization. Instead of typing in words and searching what they want to find, now people could just take a picture and thousands of related results would appear. It’s much more convenient.
