Google has a new tool that is going to help people find out information about objects right in front of them.

That's right. "Google Goggle" will use some pretty funky techniques to identify objects and then plug them into web search to help you find out information about them.

Here's a quick blurb from the site:

A picture is worth a thousand words.No need to type your search anymore. Just take a picture.

How Augmented Reality Works

Posted Mon, 11/23/2009 - 18:49 by fighella

Video games have been entertaining us for nearly 30 years, ever since Pong was introduced to arcades in the early 1970s. Computer graphics have become much more sophisticated since then, and game graphics are pushing the barriers of photorealism. Now, researchers and engineers are pulling graphics out of your television screen or computer display and integrating them into real-world environments. This new technology, called augmented reality, blurs the line between what's real and what's computer-generated by enhancing what we see, hear, feel and smell.

Good Article from the Age

Welcome to augmented reality, the digital revolution that integrates location and data.

I'm standing at the corner of King and La Trobe streets in central Melbourne, facing the Flagstaff Gardens across the road. I've been here many times but today I'm looking at the gardens in a new way — through my phone.

When I point the phone's camera at the gardens, a flotilla of text bubbles pops up and bobs across the screen. Point the camera in a new direction and some bubbles drift out of view as new ones drift in.
