Google Goggles: OMG!!!

google-gogglesHas Google gone too far? Not only are they the #1 rated site on Alexa.com and #1 search engine in the universe, but their web browser, Chrome, has now surpassed 10% global market share, and they keep rolling out new products at a torrent pace (Wave, Buzz, Docs, Alerts, and Sites) on top of their extremely successful Gmail, Docs, Calendar, and of course Maps. But Google Goggles is just ridiculous...

So what's is/are Goggles?

Goggles is essentially a search engine whose input is pictures you take with your camera! Yes you heard me right, you take a picture and it finds related news, sites, and images, just like a standard google search.

Does it work?

I tested Goggles on many products and images and was baffled by the accuracy of it's findings.

How do I get it?

Goggles works on both Android, and iOS. You can download the appropriate app here:

How do I use it?

i) Assuming you have installed the app, simply launch the app from your home screen. IMG_0162

 

ii) You will see a screen similar to this one: Click on the camera icon to the right of the search box.

iii) You will now see the following screen: Take a picture of an item of interest.

iv) I choose to search for my KRK speaker:
