Have you seen Google’s Goggles?
Mobile Visual Search Technology. Wow. We tried it out on Kang’s Andriod yesterday and let say for the record that it works just like you see in the video above and it’s outstandingly cool. This blue line scans the image, finds relevant data to use in its search, and displays its results in seconds. Pretty awesome.
The only problem with Google Goggles is that I have an iPhone, so it’s not available for people like me, however, PC World contacted Google this morning and confirmed that it will, indeed, be available for a variety of handsets soon. PC World stated:
“It is our intention to quickly develop Goggles for the most popular mobile handsets and platforms,” Google’s Katie Watson tells me. “Unfortunately, we don’t have a specific timeframe to share.”
I also completely agree with PC editor JR Raphael. Hopefully Apple won’t ban this application much like they banned Google Voice.
Come on Apple, don’t limit technological advances!
