Amazon’s New Part Finder App Feature

Amazon has a pretty handy new feature in their regular Amazon App, called Part Finder.

To give it a try, you will need to have a US penny nearby and your part, then click and open the app.

Then click the camera in the upper right corner.  You will need to allow the app access to your camera.

That will open the Part Finder

 

Put your part on a white background with a penny below it like below:

The app then puts a green crosshair on the part as it scans the photo, if you don’t see this it did not work.

Then you will need to select your Head style.

 

Then Amazon pulls up the part in it’s results.

I am pretty sure that Ikea needs to integrate something like this into their store or website or maybe Amazon will jump on it first and do it for Ikea.  Since all the Hardware sites missed the boat on this one.
