ContactIf a picture is word a thousand words, why would you waste time searching the web using just a small subset of keywords? Sometimes, a text search isn’t the best way to search for information on your smartphone. That’s where Google’s new Google Goggles visual search app comes into play. Using your camera-enabled smartphone (Android only, for now), Google Goggles takes photos of just about anything that you’d want more information on – gadgets, books, barcodes, landmarks, stores, etc. – and searches the web for any relevant information. In theory, the new search service could open up a new way to conveniently search the web on your mobile phone.
But, does it really work? Has Google mastered the dark art of visual search? We’ll put it this way: when it works, it works well, but it doesn’t always work. Check out our test of six everyday objects to see for yourself.

I don’t think this is new, the Amazon application for iPhone has had this for quite some time
Did you try it on face recognition? I’d love to know how well it performs on photos of celebs, sports stars, historical + religious figures, etc.
Another thing I’d love to see available is the ability to take a photo of a sign written in a non-Roman script, OCR it, and then pass it to Google Translate.
