Within seconds you will receive an audio-visual narrative explaining the image to you. If you happen to be connected to a 3G network the response time would be below a second. After the museum visit you might step outside and see a coffeehouse.”

Hartmut Neven, Google Product Manage, gave an example of ways of using the coming Google Visual Search during a recent CNBC special “Inside the Mind of Google“. The service allows users to take pictures of real world objects and generate a Google search related to the item. The technology uses visual recognition engines and location based services to provide accurate results.

And the latest information from some sites is saying it is called Google Goggles.  And there is a video for the services after the break.  Enjoy!
