alt Hacker NewsIs a basic webcam really able to read text at that angle for the “what is this word” example?
I wasn’t sure if any of this was real and that example looked extremely fake to me because I had a hard time believing the device being able to read text from that distance.
In that demo, the lightbulb sits on the desk, less than a meter away from the page. What feels implausible about this setup? This is kind of thing you can do with your smartphone today.
