Google Goggles is a visual search app for Android phones. Instead of using words, take a picture of an object with your camera phone: we attempt to recognize the object, and return relevant search results. Goggles also provides information about businesses near you by displaying their names directly in the camera preview.

Here’s a demo of Google Goggles running on a Motorola DROID. The app allows users to take photos of things and, in theory, get pertinent search results back. My experience was less than smooth, though. More info: www.mobileburn.com

u gys are changing the world….
@Petrander Genius nerds usually sound funny. Some of Google’s guests in presentations are laughable until you realize that they are way above your intelligence level. That’s how I feel anyway.
@IballVid Yes I completely agree. I hate how Apple is so big when it is really not even that great. I mean yes. They have good ideas and they have a revolutionary approach towards the market. However they use a lot of other company’s ideas as well. when it comes down to it they are just another power hungry proprietary company that in the end is nothing but a company who thinks they need to keep what they are working on so secret a bio chemical warfare lab could take notes on their methods.
@applefox77 I’m sorry, I really should clarify, Apple isn’t developing stuff like this, but Apple’s Developers are. Augmentation is a new feature that has really yet to be used to its full potential. Apple is too slow moving to begin working on integrating anything of this calliber. But developers already have similar products available. Either weight, Google Goggles has potential to be something great IF they they make use of augmentation. We’ll be seeing a lot augmentation in the near future.
@ekstacy11 Don’t add people you don’t know then?
@markos64207 its only for android phones not usable for nokia etc.
how do i download it for my nokia n97
@IballVid But that’s the difference between Apple and Google. Apple is the mean kid who wants to snatch all the toys. Who’ll play dirty politics to bring others down. Monopoly. Mud-slinging. All of that.
I hope Google just continues to concentrate on coming up with good stuff, and never plays dirty.
P.S: Before you start off, I’m not saying that Apple makes bad products. In fact, they make some very awesome products. I just don’t like the company’s spirit.
this could get really out of hand. what if people start taking pictures of other people in order to trace them… they could easily get their facebook name just from a pic.
thats awesome…
@aaronmnugent I could not give less of a shit. I am tired of retards like you commenting on my comment. GO get a life and stop annoying me.
@applefox77 doesnt take five braincells to figure out google wants it on the iOS4 platform
DEE GOGGLES! DAY DO NUSSING!
Unfuckingbelievable
i searched it and it didnt work
cool app im dying to us it man
wonderful even u dun hv to speak or type…….
thanks GOOGLE
is this app available for symbian s60 5th edition applications…………..
WOW!!!
@doitle
OMFG THATS WHAT I WAS THINKING!! O_O I LAUGH AT THAT EVERYTIME, sorry for caps i cant help it….ITS MY NATURE!
they should make a Beer Goggles app that instantly makes your portrait photo subjects more attractive.
i guess Google’s the new god?
tried it on a porn mag doesn’t work xD
Is this available yet? I cant find this on the android market? Thanks
@cmr5828 lol I actually agree with you. I did not know they were developing stuff like it though. Interesting. I am a huge opensource person though.
@applefox77 iPhone has already developed similar software. and augmentation. i don’t think they’re anything behind google in this field and either way google is likely to have this featured as an application. everything they make is generally Open Source. Fact is this is great, but Apple will make use of it as well.
@applefox77 google is working on iPhone App
i think you tricked the app with the children’s shoe box, there’s a partial barcode in the picture as well as the one you took a picture of.
you make very nice videos.
@mobileburn and it wont
i can’t find this in the android store on my backflip.. WTF?
@liragura They better port it too WinMo too!
Will this be available for htc hd2?
@mrs7195 sadly the internet can be way worse than America in terms of racism… -_-
it doesn’t work on iphone
only on android!
could someone give me a list of the most common android phones?
@inquisitive871 it can be really useful in a lot of situation ie. when u don’t know anything about the precedence of an object, cost, safety, etc. it can be the base to, for example, a way to identify different species of plants when hiking, etc.
lol@ the shoebox test… there was a barcode more at the far upper right corner :O
I liked the compass / location spotter at the end. That could be a great separate application. Maybe with a built in 3D map overlay and a clever UI… I’m just trying some idea out.
Google says to “Fill as much of the screen as possible, which you are not doing. Also, try zooming in to ONLY the bar code, and nothing else.
the app is revolusionary but still needs improvment
With the Dell logo, it identified it as a logo for Dell and pointed to their website for the logo. Not sure what else you would have wanted the app to reveal beyond it being a logo and identifying the logo owner and website. I think you just missed that it saw it as a logo.
from what I’ve been told, you gotta wait for the 2.0 OS before this will work, I have the HTC Hero, and this is what they told me.
itll work good when all phones cameras are 12mp
@natepnk Gotta wait for the Android 2.1 update I think.
i have a droid eris and i cant find out how to get google goggles does anyone know y i cant get it.
@henrik85 I hope so but ever since Apple rejected Google Voice on the iPhone, the relationship between the two companies have been bad. Apple needs to lighten up a little.
Wow, what did you use to record the sound – its way to bassy, my speakers are about to jump of the table.
U have to give it some props. it is only in beta stages
This is actually very freaking good for only being at 1.0. I can’t wait in like 2 years from now. It will probably read almost everything.
it is only for Android. And it is probably possible though it took a long time for Google to make this and now Google is pulling out some of it’s apps it makes for the App Store on the Iphone since it is now competing with Apple. 8(
is there a app similar to this because i cant find this?
