Google announced today at the Computer History Museum that it will be rolling out real-time search in the next several days, as well as the ability to search by voice, location, and sight from a mobile device. They also announced that they are extending their voice search capabilities on Android devices to recognize Japanese, as well as allowing you to search for “what’s nearby”. Also demonstrated was Google Goggles, a visual search application that lets you search for objects using images rather than words, using your camera phone. Via Google’s Blog:
First, we’re introducing new features that bring your search results to life with a dynamic stream of real-time content from across the web. Now, immediately after conducting a search, you can see live updates from people on popular sites like Twitter and FriendFeed, as well as headlines from news and blog posts published just seconds before. When they are relevant, we’ll rank these latest results to show the freshest information right on the search results page.
I don’t know about you, but I’m excited! I can’t wait to try some of these features out. For more information on the mobile features, visit the Google Mobile Blog.
