Overview
Image-recognition-learning system EZ-CAM (Intelligent Teaching Cam)
The image-recognition-learning system, EZ-CAM enables to proceed immediate
and intensive lecture by adopting the picture image
recognition technology with retaining variety contents
material.
Teachers can collect and produce required materials for the lecture in
advance and utilize them in the class,
and as such learning data base which has been built and re-produced
consolidated lecture material
can be used repeatedly at any time simply, it is an effective system under
the any educational environment which requires mass transmission of
information.
EZ-CAM overcame the
restraint of recognition media
which is the limit of existing recognitionlearning system, and resolved the problem
of contents production.
Consequently it’s the appropriate product for the educational environment which emphasizes
ingenuity and originality such as easiness, promptness and presentation.
