Google Goggles

Use pictures to search the web.

Google Goggles is a downloadable image recognition application created by Google Inc. It is currently found in the Google Labs as a beta version. Currently, it is used for searches based on pictures taken by handheld devices. For example taking a picture of a famous landmark would search for information about it, or taking a picture of a product's barcode will search for information on the product.

It allows you to search any details about the object or landmark you see by just taking a snap o it with your mobile device using Google GOGGLES :). Google is currently working to make the system capable of recognizing different plants and leaves, which aids not only the curious person, but also botanists and environmentalists searching for rare plants.
