Google Goggles - Google’s experimental Android visual search application that will also be available on iPhone and other platforms. It uses pictures to search the web, whether it be landmarks, books, contact info, art work, places, wine, logos, etc. It also has the ability to translate text in photos. Check out the video.
Neat, eh? I know this is not necessarily new news but I was just thinking how Google is using its existing databases and linking it all together to make this all work. They're linking pictures to search entries to book titles of different languages to people. There's a lot of intricacies involved but they're one of the few companies that fully leverage their data creatively.
