This was an interesting one. I love apps where you can scan a barcode and comparison shop, or get nutritional information or whatnot, so i tried Google Goggles. This app will scan something like a famous painting or book cover, and bring up information on it.
For example, I scanned the cover of Tina Fey's book "Bossypants" and got the correct title, author and options on where to buy the book. I scanned some pictures from a book about Leonardo DaVinci, and it gave me the artist and title of the painting. I tried to scan pictures of celebrities, but did not get a hit on those unless it was from a book cover. I suppose if it was a famous picture I may have gotten some info.
So all in all, pretty cool app, but I don't think I will use it much. However, I will leave it on my phone, because it is kind of fun to play with.
