Google has released a lot of innovative products over the years, but Google Goggles may be the closest one to something we can call a sixth sense application. We’ve seen lots of sixth sense devices at TED conferences that would purportedly identify objects in front of you, but Google has accomplished this on a large scale. Utilizing an Android phone and Google’s robust image database, Goggles finds information on whatever is in front of your phone, even live through a live video mode.
Monetizing this technology should also be easy, as Google can use the same search algorithms from their website to serve up the appropriate paid results to consumers.

Yes, cool until they recognize and track faces and people… interesting how they don’t mention that it doesn’t work on humans yet….
