While many of us might be inspired by how Pranav Mistry’s Sixth Sense technology might change the world, but Google is already a step ahead. Today at their Search Event in Mountain View, Google launched a new Google Labs project dubbed as: “Google Goggles”.
So what is it? It is as simple as this, you point at a thing, take a snap, you can search instantaneously on the web using Google using image recognition. Currently an android app is available for this.
Using OCR technology, you can search for your favorite vine bottle contents on Wikipedia or even your favorite celebrity’s profile just by looking at his/her picture.
The problem that we see, is not only of who will use it to search tons of information on the go, but also privacy concerns…

Hi,Saw your blog on stumble upon. Nice job. Check out my website if you get a chance, just click on name.
The Zune concentrates on being a Portable Media Player. Not a web browser. Not a game machine. Maybe in the future it’ll do even better in those areas, but for now it’s a fantastic way to organize and listen to your music and videos, and is without peer in that regard. The iPod’s strengths are its web browsing and apps. If those sound more compelling, perhaps it is your best choice.
amazing post
Hey I just wanted to let you know, I actually like the composition on your web site. But I am using Chromium on a machine running version 9.04 of Ubuntu and the UI aren’t quite right. Not a important deal, I can still fundamentally read the articles and look for for information, but just wanted to inform you about that. The navigation bar is kind of challenging to use with the config I’m running. Keep up the good work!
Yeah, i recently came across your blog and have been reading along.. happens all the time
Love the info on jobs, thanks keep up the good work! Bookmarked!
