Today, the guys of se-first having some impressions of an app called ‘Google Goggles’ App, which basically provides search results based on pictures taken of objects or places. It is available on the Android Market, and we installed it as one of the first things on the Xperia X10.

Watch the Video:

Xperia X10 - Google Goggles Demo

“Google Goggles is one of the latest products from Google Labs, which means that it is in an early stage of development. What it does is pretty simple: if you see something you want to know more about, take a picture, and Google Goggles will tell you where you can get more information.”

According to Google, this currently works in the following areas:

• Landmarks
• Contact Info
• Books
• Artwork
• Places
• Wine
• Logos

“After a couple of freezing hours walking around in NY, it was time for some dinner action - friends suggested a sushi place called ‘Tsushima’. I specifically did not ask for any directions, since I wanted to try Google’s Places application. Whatever place you are looking for, just type it in and you get more or less detailed information about that place. This not only includes address or phone number details, but also user reviews, a map, the distance and direction from your current location and a picture gallery. Enough details in order to provide a pretty comprehensive overview, without even having seen the place before.”

• Banks
• Bars

• Gas Stations
• Hotels

In Africa, there are many more mobile phones than medical centers. The medical professionals then combine telecom operators to provide access for all to primary health care. Overview of major initiatives in which Ericsson is also involved with the solution m-Health.
The populations of the South African province of KwaZulu-Natal, one of the most affected by HIV / AIDS in the world can testify. Despite changing attitudes vis-à-vis HIV / AIDS and the means used by the public health services (medicines affordable, free testing, counseling, etc..), Most infected people do not comply with testing for fear of stigma associated with this disease. To combat this problem, a project called mobile Masiluleke was set up in one of the busiest hospitals in the province of KwaZulu-Natal. In collaboration with MTN, a leading mobile operators in South Africa, one million SMS sent daily to invite people to contact the national call center to fight against AIDS.
This project was a resounding success, particularly among young men who were very likely to call the hotline number for information on the clinical practice of testing outside their community.Besides the transmission of important information on health, the mobile can also collect medical data and perform remote monitoring, an excellent way to improve access to healthcare for rural populations.

“Ever heard of ‘Augmented Reality’? If no: read on to learn more about it. If yes: read on to see it live in action on the Xperia X10

Augmented Reality is a term that covers a pretty wide area. It basically means a mix of real world information that is enriched (or augmented) by virtual data. It is used in swimming contests on TV for example, where a virtual line gets overlayed on the swim lanes, indicating the position for the current world record.

How does this fit into the mobile phone world? Thanks to increasing processing power and additional sensors such as compass, GPS and position sensors, the hardware preconditions are met for augmented reality applications such as Layar and Wikitude. So, how does it work? The cell phone camera pictures the reality, the GPS, compass and position sensors in the phone provide the information to determine exactly where the phone is facing. All of this information is passed to a service in the internet, which then delivers information that is blended into the camera picture.

Watch first the video here:

Xperia X10 - Wikitude Demo

“As you saw in the video, Wikitude offers information, contact details etc. if you click on an object in the Augmented Reality. It uses the Wikipedia-approach of being an open library of information, where everyone can contribute and add more data which is then displayed in the Wikitude World Browser (have a look at wikitude.org for more details).

Layar follows a slightly different approach, since the user can chose between several layers of augmentation. There is for example a layer which only shows restaurant information, another layer shows search result of google searches, etc. The possibilities are quite interesting - just think of the tourist industry. What do you think? Too geeky? Too unhandy?

“In our next episode of X(10)-mas in New York, we will show you another cool new application for the Android powered X10 called ‘Google Goggles’. As the name implies, this app lets you see the world through Google’s Goggles - take a picture of something you want to know more about, and Google provides information on that object. Stay tuned to find out how it works on the X10!”

See the images

See how the Android powered Xperia X10 is doing in different real-life situations in christmassy New York City.

“To start off this series, you can find below a couple of pictures taken with X10′s camera, as well as two videos: some christmas singers at Times Square, and the famous ice skating taking place underneath the big christmas tree at Rockefeller Center.
