Maybe because you cant. But what if you could? Ive frequently wanted to be able to take pictures of concert posters and have my phone prompt me to add it to my calendar; or just buy tickets. Or maybe its a picture of something you want to know more about and have no way of choosing a search term. You need to pick a category and then filter through results yourself.

This way you wouldnt have to do that.

I bet you've already done something like this with QR Code enabled posters.
