Google on Monday announced its plans to launch an app for the iPhone. David Petrou, a project lead of Google Goggles, said the app is under development and is pending Apple’s approval.Google Goggles is already available as built-in app on Android and a large number of iPhone users have requested Google to release an iOS version of the app.
Google Goggles is a cool app that lets you take a picture of something you’re currently interested in and then submit it to Google as a search query. Google Goggles will then return fairly accurate results in a matter of seconds from a database of 1 billion stored images.
Google believes that Goggles has the potential to be the next “Universal visual search tool” and has recently purchased Pink in order to improve the service.
With the majority of iPhone users experiencing ‘data frenzy’, Google believes that the product is bound to be a huge hit on the iOS platform. Google Goggles is amongst the most advanced augmented reality products of recent times and it can be used to promote an altogether new generation of mobile apps.
Google expects to launch Goggles by the end of this year.
