BookVIS

Snap a photo and generate a visual dashboard

The application takes an input from a user - a picture of a book cover - and generates a set of visualizations in the form of a dashboard. The dashboard provides a visual exploration of a supplemental publishing information attached to a book. Furthermore, it provides recommendations on other books, media and movies, visualizes trends of interest to a user. This project provides a richer browsing experience merging the physical and digital worlds for users by exploring patterns in borrowing habits to provide tailored recommendations. The application leverages borrowing activity from the public library systems to analyze categories, titles, authors, and media types.
