Next, we tried a pair of "bargain bin" headphones with no visible branding in black and red. While CamFind didn't find the exact model, we did get plenty of offers for black and red over-ear headphones. Alas, the app seemed to miss their built-in microphone completely, but it was, undeniably, on the right track.
In addition to cam searching, CamFind offers price comparisons when a particular product is recognized and found at multiple on-line retailers. It can also recognize film posters and DVD/Blu-Ray covers (displaying related information), restaurant signs (displaying the menu), and share products to social media and e-mail. There's also a Google Goggles-like language translator, voice searching, and a QR/barcode scanner.

All of this makes CamFind a fun app to mess with while waiting for the future where we'll probably get instant information for everything by just pointing our cameras at it. By far, the only major downside is that the app takes its sweet time to come up with search results. When the process becomes seamless, it will be wildly entertaining.
CamFind is free and is available on Android and iOS.
