When the phone is pointed at an object, Nokia Point & Find uses a variety of the phone's capabilities, including the camera, Internet connectivity, and GPS positioning to evaluate the object. Then, by rapidly searching through a database of virtually tagged items, the system identifies the object and returns a set of links to associated content and services.Visit http://pointandfind.nokia.com for more information.
