Goggles

There are some things that are hard to put in words, like a painting that you want to find out the artist of. For searches like that, try Google Goggles ;just open the Goggles app on your phone, snap a photo of that painting, and find search results all about it.

   
Google Goggles is a downloadable image recognition application created by Google which can currently be found on the Mobile Apps page of Google Mobile. It is used for searches based on pictures taken by handheld devices. For example, taking a picture of a famous landmark would search for information about it, or taking a picture of a product's barcode will search for information on the product

Augmented reality

Augmented reality (AR) is a live, copy, view of a physical, real-world environment whose elements are

augmented (or supplemented) by computer-generated sensory input such as sound, video, graphics or GPS data. It is related to a more general concept called mediated reality, in which a view of reality is modified (possibly even diminished rather than augmented) by a computer. As a result, the technology functions by enhancing one’s current perception of reality.
   By contrast, virtual reality replaces the real world with a simulated one. Augmentation is conventionally in real-time and in semantic context with environmental elements, such as sports scores on TV during a match. With the help of advanced AR technology (e.g. adding computer vision and object recognition) the information about the surrounding real world of the user becomes interactive and digitally manipulable. Artificial information about the environment and its objects can be overlaid on the real world.
