What are Google Goggles?

google Goggles was an image recognition application developed by google that allowed users to take pictures of objects, landmarks, or text, and receive information about them. Launched in 2009, it utilized visual search technology to identify items and provide relevant data, such as product details or Wikipedia entries. The app was particularly useful for translating text and recognizing artworks or historical sites. However, google eventually discontinued support for Goggles, integrating its features into other services like google Lens.
