Last month, Google Goggles, the image recognition search feature was launched on Android.A month later and it has been confirmed by a Google project manager that Google is planning to bring its virtual search tool to the iPhone too.
Google Goggles allows to you take photos of items and let the search engine process it for possible search results. Goggles v1.1 comes with better barcode, artwork and logo recognition, and will also perform searches based on images in your phone's photo gallery.
Currently, Google Goggles struggles to identify items within a photograph, and in testing out the app, we've rarely had a correct search performed from a photo so we will see if Google has ironed out this issue when rolling it out on the iPhone.
Are you an Android user who has tried out Google Goggles on their Android phone? What do you think of it? Do you think it is useful or is it just another app which loses its novelty after a while? Leave us a comment and let us know what you think…
