Visual Search Competition? Cortexica
I believe someone mentioned a company called "Cortexica Vision Systems". They have a page on facebook as does Slyce. I see that last Nov11th they Signed up Macy's(after Macy's tested Cortexica's visual search software for 3 Months). Cortexica is a UK based company and on January 7th, 2015 opened up a new office in New York in the SoHo Fashion district. Cortexica also has fashion companies "Very.co.uk" and "Zalando" as clients. Cortexica is 30% owned by "Imperial Innovations" a British Technology Commercialisation Company. This company appears to be in start up phase similar to Slyce. Cortexica's facebook page articles are a lot more informative in regards to what is happening in the visual search space. I see that Slyce even has Bruce Campbell's latest BNN appearance on their Web Site! GLTA

Slyce's Pounce app has Macy's on it as well as Walmart, Target, etc. Bruce Campbell expects that the retailers you see on the Pounce app will eventually license from Slyce the search technology for B2B applications.

Slyce is far ahead of Cortexica. Its visual search is used for much more than just items (coupons, advertising campaigns). Big differential is one tap purchase capability which in my opinion adds lots of value to Slyce.
