Google has launched another innovation today, after the Real-Time search for Google .
Google Goggles , is a brand new product launched in Google Labs. This product is a big innovation in the field of visual search. In simple words, when you point your camera at an object, take its picture, and then use Google Goggles, Google searches for the information about the object on the Web and gives you result about what it is.
This is a simple explanation of Google Goggles. Using this product, the type of object you can search for, is only limited by your imagination and your sight. For example: You can point your camera to Google Search Logo on a web page, take its picture and submit it to Google Goggles and Google returns the search result: as a link to Google Homepage.

Similarly, you can search for products like food items, books, cars, gadgets, laptops, cellphones, and yes for people too; and you can search for all these things using your cellphone. To search for specific products and objects, Google Goggles uses OCR (Optical Character Recognition) technology to recognize text on product labels.
For now, Google Goggles is supporting only Android powered devices and cellphones. But surely in the next few months, it will extend its support for more devices and platforms.
