Opera-ID is designed as a technological support tool for the identification and verification of artworks.
Opera-ID is a web app developed by Veralinx to identify artworks already registered on the platform directly through a smartphone camera.
Thanks to its visual recognition algorithms, Opera-ID allows users to:
- identify only artworks already registered on Veralinx and processed through the platform registration workflow;
- recognize two-dimensional works, such as paintings, graphics, prints, and photographs;
- access, after identification, the related Artwork Card and blockchain references, when available.
Opera-ID is designed as a first-level identification tool: it enables rapid artwork recognition and provides immediate access to its registered digital identity.
More in-depth verification remains based on consultation of the Artwork Card, which contains images, dimensions, technique, materials, and other information useful for assessing the artwork.
Why it works only on smartphones
Opera-ID uses the mobile device camera and is designed to operate together with native smartphone functions, including geolocation.
For this reason:
- it is intended for smartphone use only;
- it is not designed for desktop or laptop use;
- if opened on a computer, the service may not function properly.
