Figured this would have been an obvious acquisition for Google years ago, surprised it took so long. Obviously a perfect fit, and even more-so now with Glass.

- andrewmunsell 12y agoActually, Google Glass already has this functionality. There's no real difference between the two, other than Google's implementation works where you're looking instead of requiring you to point your phone in a specific direction. I wrote about my experience with it during Google's Seattle Through Glass event: https://www.andrewmunsell.com/blog/looking-through-google-glass https://www.andrewmunsell.com/blog/looking-through-google-gl...

- andrewmunsell 12y agoInteresting-- they didn't mention that. I guess that the acquisition makes sense, then.
