Google Goggles – Visual Search Technology
The latest thing being spoken about by Android users is Google Goggles. The premise behind Google Goggles is that you can use pictures to search the web. In simple terms, instead of typing in the words and seeing results, you could show a picture and see results – Augmented Reality comes to mind.

- This is just the beginning – it’s not quite perfect yet. Works well for some things, but not for all.
- Your pictures, your control. Turn on ‘visual search history’ to view or share your pictures at any time. Turn it off to discard them once the search is done.
