Google Image Swirl

Google Labs always work in progress to give you more applications with a great idea. After Script Converter, Google labs now work on Google Image Swirl where organizes image search results into groups and sub-groups, based on their visual and semantic similarity and presents them in an intuitive exploratory interface.

Google image search has been very useful tool for us to find more related images all around the world. Image Swirl expands the technology that powers Similar Images and Picasa Face Recognition and groups images based upon similar themes. Users will be presented with 12 different image themes to select from. Once a user chooses a theme and clicks the corresponding thumbnail, that group or cluster of images will swirl into view so that you can further explore that theme. The detail you can see the image below.


However, after try this new feature, the swirl feature more confusing us as a user to choose the right image related to keyword we submitted. Moreover, using image swirl, we got no more detail information about the image as conventional image search tool. Some users who tried this new tool also gave a negative feedback as quoted below-taken from Google Image Swirl Details and Feedbacks. However, it is still great idea but need more progress to make it perfect.
