Riya rocks!

I needed to find some pictures of my grandma and didn't have time to go through thousands of photos. I used illumin8 to find an easy face recognition tool and it led me to Riya. Riya quickly solved my problem.

All I had to do was upload all my photos, show it a few examples of my grandma, and then it found 77 pictures of her for me. That was so easy...and fun!

Here are the pictures of her, in case you're interested:



By the way, my Grandma makes the best chocolate chip cookies in the world. They are so good I've even brought them to our board meetings!
