Someday.....

Google is great for getting information about words. But what if you don't have any words to describe what you want info about?

UK designer Callum Peden has come up with a product idea for Google. It's called "Google Vision". About the size of a cell phone (with built-in GPS), a flexible screen scrolls. It would use image recognition and GPS data to tell you what you're looking at. The image would be compared against a database of objects known to be near the location identified by the GPS.

Physical objects would need to be indexed, such as via a Wiki. The technology needed to build such a device exists.......
