Full FeedSee the world through the eyes of google: Goggle Goggles
Along with the announcements of the Google real time search and the labeling of your local businesses, Google had another feature up their sleeve today at their huge demo. This came in the form of an app that will be used on mobile devices (Android is on a roll), that will essentially analyze a picture taken and bring up various information on an object in that image. And if that doesn’t get your attention, the title of “Google Goggles” will.
So for instance, let’s say you scan a book cover. The app will instantly pull up the information on that book including the link to the Google search about that book. Links to Amazon will most likely be included so that you can proceed to either buy the book or read various reviews on the book. Right now, the only downside to this app is the ability to spend money at a record pace.
And in case you don’t believe cartoons, TechCrunch was able to get a live demo:
Quite honestly, I really like the way Google is using their developmental talent to boost their mobile devices. In time, Google’s Phd’s and superior teams will take over the thousands of homemade apps of the Apple App store.
