Google Goggles

very interesting indeed. Can be a new way to learn children in the future.
 
One of the concerns that Google has been quick to address in announcing Goggles is the issue of facial recognition. The company has said that it will blur out faces in Goggles for the time being. It has said that this will be the case until it is clear on the potential privacy implications of allowing users to identify others using Goggles.

Mmmm now I will soon be able to pull up the entire history of a GF... :whistle::love::wtf:
 
Very Cool. Now all we need is to be able to search for a tune. So many tunes that I just don't know the name of.....like the ice cream truck song here in Cape Town..LOL
 
I get a bit concerned when I see Google moving into markets like this:

The link above provides some extremely interesting information on Google's business strategies and how it uses its search dominance to foreclose new markets, preventing innovation by launching services free, which are neither its core focus, nor does it intend ever commercialising. This it is able to do because of its cash-cow Ad Words business that gives it the deep pockets to enter any new market and be disruptive by making the service free.

Anybody interested in web innovation and online profitability should be very concerned about the Google machine gobbling up every industry it touches.

Personally, I think the future will belong to an open-source search engine with a fully disclosed algorithm and which has no commercial reason for ranking results in any particular way. Here's another link for anybody who's interested in this very important battle for online sanity and pen-opportunity.

1 Company should not have sole control over all that data and it should be in the hands of a global organisation that is fully accountable to the public and which provides full disclosure on all algorithms used...that's my shiny 2 bob!
 
Google just never stops innovating! I wonder how successful this will be. I have no idea how it will be implemented. Probably that biometric recognition they use in casinos or something
 
So how long until this is refined and extrapolated onto a physical set of goggles or sunglasses I wonder?

I'm sure someone's looking at that concept already.

I'd say +2 to three years from now.
