All you need to do is just sketch the features on your iPhone with your fingers and GazoPa, the iPhone app for finding online images will do it for you. Since the launch of Gazopa for iPhone Application by Hitachi early this year in April, the iPhone application has been quite a rage. Thanks to its amazing feature that allows users to search for similar images on the web, just by uploading any photo captured with camera on iPhone.
This has been highly popular with iPhone users since they can search for any images similar to what they see in front of them, without typing any words. In short, GazoPa iPhone app enables you to draw an image with your finger, take a photo with the iPhone camera, or load a source image stored on your iPhone and find images that match the original.
There is also provision of searching similar images using user's drawing as well. This way, GazoPa iPhone App allows the search of images which the user has in mind and has drawn it by visualization. Because, many a times you might see something and it leaves an impression in your mind; but becomes hard to find a similar image, nor do you get words to exactly describe it.
