Google’s Goggles lets you search using photos
Mobile Phones, Software, The Net - Tuesday, December 8th, 2009

Google has unveiled Goggles, a new visual search service that lets users do online searches using photos taken by an Android-running phone. The app can be downloaded from the Android market, and works by simply taking a photo of an object (products, business cards, landmarks, and locations) with the phone. Google then tries to recognize the object, and gives you the relevant search info.

It’s still in Beta though, and is currently set to work on Android smartphones (v1.6-onwards), with no word on availability for other mobile operating systems.
