== 10/26/2013 - Added schema.org/Product metadata ==
+
We currently have HTML-based apps for iOS and Android, using a wrapper. We'd very much like have native apps for speed and access to more advanced features. If you're an iOS, Android, Blackberry or Windows Phone developper, we'd very much welcome you :-)

Mobile applications for Open Food Facts.
[[en:Derniers changements sur Open Food Facts]]
+
 
 +
== Mobile version ==
 +
 
 +
See http://fr.wiki.openfoodfacts.org/Projet:Version_mobile
 +
 
 +
== Android and iOS ( PhoneGap ) ==
 +
 
 +
Application mainly dedicated to the collection of products: barcode scanning , sending photos, input basic informations.
 +
 
 +
The application is developed in HTML and JavaScript and is based on the PhoneGap platform (also known as Cordova) to be packaged for Android and iOS .
 +
 
 +
Phonegap can be used on other platforms ( Windows Phone,etc…) But the app also need BarcodeScanner PhoneGap plugin.
 +

 +
 
 +
== Application for Google Glass (modified Android app ) ==
 +
Google Glass is the ultimate and efficient product collection method:
 +
* Ok Google, Scan this product.
 +
* Ok Google, Take a picture.
 +
* Ok Google, Take a picture.
 +
* Ok Google, Product Name: Pasta Carbona Weight: 500g Brand: Leader Price.
 +
* Ok Google, Save and send to OpenFoodFacts.
 +
* Bang next product .
 +
 
 +
A developer began a somewhat related application : https://plus.google.com/116935303826575659970/posts/Q9my4128soE
 +
 
 +
== Moving from a wrapped HTML app to Native Apps==
 +
 
 +
A native application would allow a more fluid use ( PhoneGap app is actually running in a webview , a kind of Web browser, and is suddenly relatively slow and sometimes unstable ) .
 +
 
 +
== Applications dedicated to uses other than the collection ==
 +
 
 +
 
 +
=== Large public Application :  information consultation ===
 +
 
 +
Display nutritional traffic lights etc. .
 +
 
 +
=== Large public Application : augmented reality ===
 +
 
 +
* Information display overlay product .
 +
* Ongoing trial with Moodstocks . First tests rather conclusive: the products are easily recognized when the camera passes over ( without scanning and without taking a picture ) .
 +
 
 +
=== Application for people who have difficulty reading ===
 +
 
 +
* For people who are blind, have difficulty reading when it says very little that can not read.
 +
* Demo of Speech-enable app on Android http://fr.openfoodfacts.org/js/off-vocal.apk
 +
 
 +
== Features to add ==
 +
* Modification of existing products ( image rotation , selection of specific areas, filling fields)
 +
* The application asks to photograph a specific part of the package when the product is marked incomplete
 +
* The application offers simple visual recognition challenges that can supplement the missing data ( ie: What brand ? What weight? What protein value ? Which of these images is the nutrition ? Which of these images is the ingredients ? )
 +
* Photo Mode (it never leaves the camera mode, with a simple tap to take a picture , and there is a button to change product )
 +
* Off-Line Mode to scan products with limited or no connection.
 +
 
 +
=== Other Apps? ===
 +
 
 +
* Calculation of calories and other nutrients
 +
* An offline version ( avoiding making an internet connection for lookups)
 +
