Designed by a young UK designer, Pei Kang Ng, Google3D is
meant as a viable business proposal for Google, five to ten years
from now. With Google3D, the idea is literally, to bring the
conveniences of the search engine to your fingertips. Now, you
can find out things on the move - wherever and whenever you want to -
just by taking a picture. You don't even have to type! Considering the
technological advances in search, wireless technology and flexible
screens, it should be a matter of time before the
concept becomes feasible in technical terms. This handy partner
brings the Google search bar into your world of real, tangible objects
- you do not have to sit in front of your computer anymore. Armed with
a camera, it allows you to search live! with a simple snapshot. Scenario 1) Looking for a bargain? Take a picture of the product and Google will tell you where to buy it cheaper. Scenario 2) Lost? Take a picture of the nearest road sign or any landmarks, and Google tells you where you are. Scenario
3) Looking for a good restaurant? Simply take a picture of the
restaurant’s signage and Google will tell you its customers ratings. by Andy G
