Goggle Goggles for the Droid 2 is basically a visual search application. This app allows android users to simply take a snapshot of something and then search for it on Google. All you have to do is focus the Doird 2′s camera lens on the subject of choice, and the visual search is automatically initiated. Google Goggles is in its beginning stages, so it is only effective at searching for specific things. It works well for recognizing landmarks, artwork, buildings, beverages (such as wine), and logos. This is an incredibly convenient app for those who travel. Imagine pointing your phone at a local landmark in a foreign country, and immediately find out everything about it.

The Goggles app is also effective at translating languages such as English, Spanish, German, French, and Italian. This is another useful feature for tourists who want to read menus and signs. Additionally, the text recognition is great for identifying books or any other written information.The drawbacks of Goggle Goggles is that it is limited when it comes to searching for specific subjects such as food, cars, clothing, trees, and other ordinary household items. However, Google engineers are working hard to take the app to the next level. For example, imagine pointing the phone at a leaf and then finding out exactly which type of plant it is. Google Goggles is a clever must-have app that’ll come in handy at unexpected moments.
