Google Goggles uses pictures to search the web, not any pictures but the ones clicked or rather seen through your phones. It helps you to make your web search even more easier. Instead of using words, take a picture to search the web .Google Goggles lets you upload business cards directly to your phone by just snapping a photo of it. Likewise it has capablity of photo-based searching for DVDs, businesses, landmarks, books, logos, contact info, artwork, products, barcodes, and plain text.
When you capture an image, it breaks it down into object-based signatures. It then compares those signatures against every item it can find in its image database. Some results are returned before you even snap or click a photo; Goggles uses data from the phone’s GPS and compass to deliver live augmented-reality results as well. You just point your phone at any location — a business, for example — and the app places a button with the business name at the bottom of your screen. Tap the button, and Goggles loads info about the business from a Web search. No snapshot is needed. It has an option of saving the search results or the images you clicked on your phone if you prefer to or else delete them.
Visual search of Goggles application doesn’t give succinct results about food, cars, plants, or animals as it is in its primitive stages and so you can’t expect it to be as powerful as google search but still it has much to offer.
Goggles application retains your IP address and Google account details for five weeks in order to help “keep the service stable and secure.”
