I wouldnt laugh to loud if I were you. NEOM does not have access to Googles databases, and words are simple to reproduce into a data base. Its just a matter of typing them on a keyboard, so a massive word data base is easy to establish with enough time.

Physical objects is a whole different ball game. NEOM has to take the pictures or have them supplied by vendors to add them to the data base. And yes thats how it will work, even according to NEOM. If you take a picture of a ford mustang with your camera, NEOMS data base will have to have a picture of a ford mustang in it to match the two pictures to send you to the right URL.

If you are suggesting that the pictures be associated with keywords that wont work. It will have to match your picture to their picture.

And I dont get your clue either. Who is talking about key word searches? That is a diffeerent data base then visual recognition or pictures isnt it? Each picture you take of an object has to on a server have a URL of that specific picture, so it sends you to the right website. A computer cant determine that a picture of a mustang, is in fact a mustang to take you to fords mustang web page. Unless of course you the user after taking the picture tagged it with a keyword like mustang. And if thats the case why bother taking the picture? Just type in the keyword mustang to go to the sitre, since you would have to type it anyway to identify whats in the picture, RIGHT?
