Zeiss Victory RF
Launched in July, 2008
This is one in a series of 3 micro-sites that I created for Zeiss through Pocket Hercules. One of the cool features was to show how their rangefinder binoculars would detect the range of things in your field-of-view. I built a method to detect the color saturation of a group of pixels and it would estimate the range of what you're looking at.
