Google has come up with a new app, Google Goggles. The program, usable on Android powered devices, uses a picture to make a web search. This idea has just blown my mind! I had never really imagined something like this but, now that Google has demonstrated the idea in a Youtube video, I can't imagine our web-centric world evolving without it. The most intriguing part is using the camera to capture video, with web info being overlaid on the video. Want to know about the restaurant at the end of the street? Point your phone at it, get instant info about the menu, hours, service etc. This will, hopefully, be the future of how information in the world flows. With live updates, via twitter like services, being streamed right over the top of the video on the phone. The future keeps looking brighter.
