Comment on When do you think there will be an app for android that could identify and store objects on a database in real time from video capture?

Not likely in the near future, probably not feasible in the long term either. It’s not just about recognising an object. You could write a program that recognises a screw but you’d need far more complicated sensors and algorithms to identify the dimensions, specific characteristics, material composition, design specifications, etc, then apply that to every screw, bolt, washer, small component and assembly, tubes, threaded rods, tyres, pistons, brake pads, resistors, capacitors, diodes, seals, consumables, etc.

For a long time, I think that kind of thing would be wildly inaccurate, hugely expensive, massively complicated, and much less efficient than asking a human to kindly go over there and check all those things manually.
