State Farm unveiled its latest mobile app, CarCapture, available for iOS and Android, which allows the consumer to capture a picture of the back of a vehicle and instantaneously obtain detailed information through object recognition technology.

Backed by State farm and Edmunds.com, a car shopping website, the details provided by the CarCapture service assist consumers in making an informed car-buying decision. Using CarCapture, consumers can take a photo of a car and instantly obtain information, such as the make, model, body type, year range, features, safety information, customer reviews and more regarding the vehicle.

Images, as well as Edmunds' True Market Value, potential dealership locations and State Farm insurance quotes are also provided through the application.

"Consumers are relying more and more on mobile devices. By accessing the CarCapture app offered only through State Farm, consumers can easily search for cars in a remarkable new way," said Jack Weekes, leader of the State Farm Innovation Team. "The user experience is simple. All they have to do is take a photo, which prompts the availability of valuable information, in moments."

Once a vehicle has been selected the app offers the consumer an option to get an insurance quote or find a car. Additional platforms and features will be added in future updates.

The app is free to download from iTunes and Google Play. Learn more about the CarCapture app on State Farm's website.
