Google Goggles

Saturday, December 12th, 2009

A picture is worth a thousand words. No need to type your search anymore in google and get the results using a picture. This is possible with new tool “Google Goggles” which is a visual search tool launched by Google Search Engine. Google Goggles is a free application for Google Android Mobile phones. People can search for information about anything with its photo of that object.

Using google goggles, you can get information about tourist places, famous paintings, company logos by pointing your phone’s camera on the object. Google compares the match against its database with image elements of the object and when it finds a match, it displays the results with name and details of the object. Yet this is just the beginning and its not quite perfect yet which will work perfect for some things.
