Google Goggles updated to version 1.6

Google has updated its image recognition app Goggles to version 1.6. The new version of Google Goggles enhances the camera on your Android-powered phone. With this new opt-in feature in Goggles, you can simply photograph an image using your phone's camera, and Goggles will work in the background to analyze your image. If your photo contains items that Goggles can recognize, the app will notify you.

What's in this version:
+ Search from the Camera. You can now set up Google Goggles to automatically run on photos taken with your camera app.
+ Goggles can now respond to barcode intents.

As you may well be aware already, Goggles uses image recognition technology to recognize objects and return relevant search results. Identifies products, famous landmarks, storefronts, artwork, and popular images found online.

Google Goggles is available for download FREE in the Android Market in the Productivity category.
