Google Goggles
Google Goggles! Take a look at Google’s newest technology known as Google Goggles. Google uses your phone’s camera to do more than just taking snaps. Google Goggles, an experimental “labs” feature lets you find more information about anything by simply taking its picture from your camera-phone. You can search for landmarks, books, contact information, artwork, places and more. Cool huh!
Google also implementing augmented reality in Google Goggles. Simply point the camera viewfinder to say, a restaurant and the name of the restaurant will appear at the bottom of the screen. To read more about the restaurant, you just need to click that name. You can read then read the restaurant’s reviews and even rate it.
Additionally, another interesting aspect of Google Goggles is that it also works as a business card scanner. It is still in a developmental stage and currently is available only for Android devices.
