Objects can be identified by knocking a smartphone against them, according to Korean research lab KAIST. No camera is involved. Instead the technique processes data from the phone’s microphone, accelerometer and gyroscope – recorded simultaneously as the phone is tapped on the object. The system was trained on 23 everyday objects – including books, laptop ...
