This is very nice, Google Goggles for android supports something similar.

When I saw this on my brothers android device it does make for quite a wow factor!


The Google app for iPhone also has 'Google Goggles' and it works just as well. Quite impressive!


Ok that is cool, I had to try with my Nexus One and presto, puzzle solved. Brilliant.

Nice to get an idea of how exactly it's done.


When I wrote my own Sudoku solver in JavaScript I was curious how backtrack steps during solving looks, so I made this video ;-) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jsLlD5JT9ik

Here is my solver http://www.przemelek.pl/file/sudokuB.html code inside ;-)


The nerdiness is overwhelming and I love every second of it.
