Your smartphone camera is now smarter with Goggles 1 6
Today, we launched a new version of Google Goggles that enhances the camera on your Android-powered phone. With this new opt-in feature in Goggles, you can simply photograph an image using your phone�s camera, and Goggles will work in the background to analyze your image. If your photo contains items that Goggles can recognize, the app will notify you.
Let�s say that I�m going on vacation, and I decide to use my Android-powered phone as my primary camera. Goggles would identify landmarks, paintings and other interesting objects in my photos. I can share these facts about my vacation with my friends right from my Goggles search history.
(l-r) Goggles has found a search result for this popular landmark; Find out more about this item in your photo within Google Goggles
Photos you take with your phone�s camera will only be seen by Goggles if you enable the Search from Camera feature. Here�s how:
- launch Google Goggles
- tap Menu > Settings > Search from Camera
Manage your opt-in status from the settings menu
