what the thing?
Android app that uses your camera to identify objects and translate their names into different languages.
What is what the thing??
What the Thing is an Android application built with React Native that uses computer vision and language translation to help users learn foreign vocabulary in context. By pointing the camera at real-world objects, users can instantly see what those items are called in another language. It combines Clarifai's AI for object recognition with Yandex Translate for language translation.
Android users, language learners, and developers interested in React Native projects that integrate multiple APIs for educational purposes. It's particularly suited for those seeking a practical tool to bridge language barriers through visual recognition.
Developers choose this for its straightforward, camera-based interface that provides real-time object recognition and translation without requiring a development server in bundled builds. As a learning exercise in React Native, it demonstrates how to combine computer vision and translation APIs into a functional app.
