Image Collection Browsing Kiosk

So recently at work, I've been lucky enough to be working on quite a unique product. Its primarily a kiosk application for museums and enables users to easily browse large image collections (tens of thousands).

While the user is browsing their way through, our algorithms look at the meta-data in the selected images and start to adapt the new mix of images to the users interests. This means that each different user of the kiosk will have a completely different experience.

The application also support video and audio assets, providing the user with a very immersive experience.

I personally have worked on all parts of this application, from the UI and web-service to the tool-chain and adaptive algorithms. My favourite part is undoubtedly the UI work!

The video below shows a development build which includes an image tray, allowing users to print off their favourite images to take home.



Hopefully I'll be able to post about some useful tit-bits of knowledge I've gained while developing the system!
