Google Goggles Dry-run

I just took a photograph of a bottle of Pepsi using Google Goggles and it identified:

  • the logo as Pepsi (and showed the original logo)
  • the barcode
  • a small QR code I hadn’t noticed (which it analysed and correctly found the site for)
  • all the text on the bottle
  • a similiar image it found on the web

Holy hell, you guys. How far off is face recognition, given that it can already just find similiar photos?

Hot. Damn.
