Google Goggles Coming 'Soon' to iPhone

Sounds good to me. I'd enjoy testing it to see how good it is.

Want Want Want!!!!

google is a breath away from ruling the world. I don't like it but I can't help but think some of what they do is amazing.

Apropos of nothing... I was just at the SFMOMA a couple of weeks ago studying that Frida Kahlo painting. Weird to see it showing up on MR!

Amazing technology. And just think: we're only a few lines of code away from taking a photo of some cute random girl and being able to get her name, home town, and other publicly available data. For example, snap a photo of somebody (girl, guy, anybody) and get their Facebook, Twitter, MySpace accounts, and whatever else.

If that ever became possible, Google would probably face huge pressure to implement some kind of "Google Goggle Blocker" list. Like the telephone no-call list. Otherwise it could create nightmare scenarios with cyber- and real-world stalkers, psycho ex-boyfriends, psycho ex-wives, and other harassment.

And it's just a small matter of programming. Apple already has face recognition technology built into iPhoto, and I'm sure Google could easily create their own face recognition code (if they haven't already). Google obviously has pattern-matching technology in Google Goggles, and they've crawled hundreds of millions of social networking accounts.

Kind of scary.

They probably have the technology now as we speak but have not figured out a way to make it safe to use for blocking those unwanted visitors when it comes to the stalker theory. I would think it would be a nice thing to use , only if these people you are taking pictures of are already your friends,family . not just random people that you have taken pictures of while out in public

oMoby already does this for iphone. The technology is basically a pattern classifier. And if it doesn't land a hit, the picture sent to a group of people, probably in some other country, who actually get paid to identify things

I took a picture of my friend. Since it couldn't identify him, it returned "blue shirt" since that's what he was wearing

Then I took a picture of my middle finger and got a terms of service violation

I would like to see an app that when you point camera at a leaf or plant, it provides you with the kind of plant you're trying to identify. Would also be good for animals, insects, birds, etc.

I think it can automatically translate any language too! I want now!

That would be amazing. If I had had that in Botany class...
