This is not, IMHO, what GGoggles is for.<br /><br />Here is a better example of the "Terminator Vision" this app can realize...<br />I took a photo of some friends at a party.<br />Within a minute my phone buzzed with a notification... Google Goggles had scanned the photo in the background.. It turns out there was a poster behind the group of people.. More than half of it was covered by their heads... Yet, Goggles picked up on it, identified the photo, , and provided me with a bunch of links to website that sell reprints of that poster/photo !!<br /><br />And another from earlier today:<br />I took a snapshot of my local church. In front of the church there is a noticeboard with an 'inspirational message'.. The notice board was small and took less than a 10th of the picture.. Yet Goggles identified it, read the inscription and then found me a book on Amazon that contained that phrase !! All within 30seconds in the background...<br /><br />This is way more crazy than 'bookmarking some books'...Nikoshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04165323028875933865noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18157064.post-90450542060192459122012-03-14T07:43:33.160-07:002012-03-14T07:43:33.160-07:00It seems to me this new app is the beginning of th...It seems to me this new app is the beginning of the software that Google hopes to use for their “rumored” goggles that will be similar to “Terminator Vision.” The software is supposed to mimic the Android OS at launch, if these reports are to be believed. I would find a goggle solution more applicable to 3D, and watching movies, if I were to invest on such a thing; I wouldn’t want to use them when in my everyday life though. If I could stream my movies from my Blockbuster @Home subscription through 4G service or my home network, I would be thrilled. Think how much more enjoyable an airplane ride would be? Actually, ever since my employer, DISH, added the streaming to Blockbuster @Home, I find that I watch more movies because of the instant gratification. It’s nice to have things for my kids to watch too in between mailings. I can’t imagine how much more media I would consume if I could watch with glasses, or even while I’m working!gmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13801038222129413055noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18157064.post-88799254986758827592011-10-12T12:10:21.636-07:002011-10-12T12:10:21.636-07:00@Learning Tux: that's nothing new... there are...@Learning Tux: that's nothing new... there are LOTS of barcode reading apps out there for a couple of years now... Google's Goggles app does more by taking ANY pic and trying to tell you what it is. So if you saw something you don't know or not sure of, take a pic and Goggles will try to tell you what it is.woahhttp://www.google.com/gogglesnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18157064.post-34769674977742316652011-09-23T04:49:46.081-07:002011-09-23T04:49:46.081-07:00Seems to be a complicated one.
