Although the renewal of Japan’s Tohoku region will take many years to complete, in some ways the disaster is already ‘old news’. Our mission is to keep awareness of renewal as it is happening in Japan. By using the power of stories to connect, inform, heal and inspire we hope to encourage even more people to get involved or at the very least feel a connection with the people giving it their best. Perhaps that inspiration will even find an outlet at another location on the globe.

Nicolas Loeillot – CEO – LM3Labs
LM3LABS launched a new service called Xloudia that can recognize millions of images, products or buildings. Pronounced cloudia, the solution targets B2B integration into mobile applications. Until today, image recognition, which is necessary for most augmented reality applications on a mobile phone was limited by capabilities of the device. Reference images were limited to a hundred maximum. Xloudia relies on a cloud architecture to recognize millions of images leaving to the mobile the lighter task of extracting feature points from the camera video flow and rendering contents. Xloudia supports iOS and Android platforms and is available to large e-commerce companies as well as to independent app developers.

Pictures pile up on your smartphone. Don’t let your cherished memories languish in a forgotten corner of your phone. Bring them alive with million moments, a photo viewing and sharing application that lets you enjoy and share your favorite pictures in elegant, magazine-like layouts. Take, import, and browse pictures. Create albums without editing your images, import the pictures from your smartphone or your Facebook albums, or take new pictures from within million moments to create an album automatically. Imported pictures are automatically sorted by date, with one-to-five pictures displayed per page. Each page displays the dates the pictures were taken and any comments added using the comment feature. The layouts randomly change each time you open an album, ensuring each viewing is a unique experience. It’s a beautiful and easy new way to explore your memories.
