As time passes, the amount of recognition apps coming to Google Glass increases. It seems like every month we hear something about an app that can recognize faces, items, and other things.

The latest recognition app that is coming to Google Glass is CamFind. CamFind is an image recognition app created by a startup company called Image Searcher. CamFind has been available on smartphones for a little while now, and recently Image Searcher submitted a Google Glass version of the app for approval.

The way the app works is similar to the way the Google Goggles app works. Google Glass wearers can look at an item, object, animal or whatever and CamFind will identify it and provide information about the item to the wearer.

The app seems quite easy to use, but it also seems a bit slow. Users can start the application by saying the command “OK Glass, what do you see?”. Saying the command will cause Google Glass to snap a photo of what you’re looking at and then the application will match the snapped photo to items, objects and other things on the app’s servers. Once a match is found, users will see the results on the Google Glass display. Results appear as easily readable plain text.

Results from searches are usually provided in around 12 seconds. 12 seconds is a considerable amount of time for a single search. While getting results may seem a bit slow though, the results are apparently far more accurate than the results that Google Goggles provides. Also, the app has a staff team that manually identifies different things when the app isn’t able to. So, while you may not be able to identify something one day, you might be able to the next day.

The smart phone version of CamFind has been downloaded 1.6 million times and has apparently answered about 17 million searches. The app seems to be quite successful on smart phones and hopefully the Google Glass version will make the app even more successful. Image Searchers has submitted the application for approval, and it has yet to be approved. Hopefully, it will be approved soon so that Explorers can tinker with it.

So, what are your thoughts on this application? Are you going to play with it once the application gets approved? Share your thoughts with us in the comments section down below!
