Google Goggles seems very promising, is it not ? Eric Schmidt thinks that it can help you in situations like being in an “other language” restaurant, trying to figure out what the menu is, and then you click the menu’s photo, Goggle it and it gives you the English translation. Sounds amazing !

If you didn’t know yet, Google Goggles is the next (one of the) big things from Google. Its a technology by which you can snap pictures and get to know everything about it, much like the OCR technology, but this time its the pictures.

So you click the pictures of that apple, goggle it, and wallah ! Google tells you its a fruit, red in color, which if eaten a day, will keep the doctor away and all those interesting facts you needed to know. But what if you clicked on something that Goggle doesn’t know ? Like a new gadget ? Not any stupid gadget, let’s say an iPad ?

Well, Google images won’t  tell you what an ipad is at the moment, if at all, it gives you wrong information. (via Labnol).

Would Google rely more on OCR or Google Images ? Or both ? If yes, how effective will it be in finding what we really need to find (read – what we already don’t know).

Well, we have to wait and see a prime time table release, before we can comment but still – what would you use Google Goggles for ? Why would you ?
