There is now an option to load images from the gallery to be analysed as well as the removal of a shutter sound when taking pictures of subjects.
Google recently announced a new initiative where it partnered with Buick, Disney, Diageo, T-Mobile and Delta Airlines the companies adapted their print adverts, posters and other media and made them Goggles-enabled, giving mobile users the opportunity to take photos of the media pieces and have mobile websites delivered by the Goggles app.
