Google Goggles, a visual real time search

Google try to make an evolution for mobile phone, with your camera phone Google now can recognize an object. This might can help you to identify an unfamiliar object. Google Goggles was announced at Google's search announcement yesterday, but Google speaker gave a more detailed demonstration outside the main conference room.

Google Goggles is a new application for the Android operating system that allows the user to represent searches by submitting photos or images. That’s an fascinating idea in a handful of situations. Say you are a tourist and want to learn more about a apartment that you spotted. Perhaps you even recognize the name of the apartment but not in your own words.

More applications contain identifying artwork, looking up items like books or cars and scanning contact data on business cards to find out more about the contact.

The second use after being able to recognize items is the capability to achieve a search without having to sort the search word into the search engine. Google Goggles lets you take a image using your phone and transfer it to your phone, which scans it for text also searches for it. It can also take a picture of a tops landmark and actually tell you what it is, and show you pages about it. You can explore this out by dipping into Google Labs, if you own an Android phone. Instead of typing in the title of the book that you are obsessed in you simply take a picture and let Google Goggles perform that for you.
