Google Goggles

Find out useful information about people, objects, and sights with Google Goggles.

This app is like a dictionary or an encyclopedia. When you take a picture of a person or an object or even a building that you see, the app will search for that image in its database. If there is a match, then you'll be able to read information about what's in the picture that you took. There are several languages used with the app, such as German, French, and Spanish. There is an option to translate information from one language to another as well.

Who doesn't like learning about things that they see when they walk through town or if they are visiting a new city and want to learn more about the attractions and the history? The app makes it easier to complete research if it's needed for a project for work or school. You can scan barcodes to get information about a product before you buy it or if you've had it in the house for a long time and want to know more information. There's also the option to scan QR codes. Famous landmarks are among the places that you can get a detailed history about, such as when the landmark was erected, who designed it and the significance for the country. Aside from larger objects, the app also allows you to get information about CDs, movies, and books that are in a 2D format.
