Amazon Launches Flow, Augmented Reality Shopping...

(download)

Amazon has launched a new app in time for the holiday shopping season that not only recognizes products but pulls up purchasing options (from Amazon and owned properties of course.) Some objects such as books, dvds and other media are recognized by their covers, others may require a bar code reading, but the breadth of products appears to be fairly large upon first glance.

Google Goggles may do the same, but it doesn't send you straight to an owned purchase option. Seems that Amazon has vaulted the GOOG in putting a value to product scans -- although it remains to be seen how much traction they will get.
