Google Lens
 Google Lens is an AI-powered technology that uses 
your smartphone camera and deep machine learning 
to not only detect an object in front of the camera 
lens, but understand this and offer actions such as 
scanning, translation, shopping, and more.

Launch
 Google Lens was one of Google's biggest 
announcements way back in 2017, but it was a Google 
Pixel exclusive feature when that phone launched. 
Since then, Google Lens has come to the majority of 
Android devices, the app is available to download on 
Google Play.

Features
 Google Lens enables you to point your phone at 
something, such as a specific flower, and then ask 
Google Assistant what the object you're pointing at is. 
You'll not only be told the answer, but you'll get 
suggestions based on the object, like nearby florists, in 
the case of a flower.

Other features
 Google Lens will recognize restaurants, clubs, cafes, 
and bars, presenting a pop-up window showing 
reviews, address details and opening times. It has the 
ability to recognize everyday objects which is 
impressive. It will recognize a hand and suggest the 
thumbs up emoji, which is a bit of fun.

What else can it do?
 You can point your phone at text and with Google 
Translate plugging in, it will live translate text. If you 
see a dress you like while shopping, Google Lens can 
identify that piece and similar articles of clothing. This 
works for household decor and more, too, via relevant 
reviews and shopping options.
How does it work?
 Google has a standalone app on Android for Google 
Lens if you want to get straight into the features. 
Within Google Assistant also you will see a Google 
Lens icon in the bottom right hand corner. Within 
Google Photos, Google Lens can identify buildings or 
landmarks, for instance, presenting users with 
directions and opening hours for them.

Danish, Dutch, Hindi, Indonesian, Japanese, Polish,

Source of information
 Using the camera on your handset, Google Lens can 
scan a product, animal, text or something else in 
your environment and tell you what that object is. 
The service relies on information sourced from 
Google and other places to give you accurate 
information about the subject.

In the future
 Given that Google Lens represents the cutting edge of 
camera technology and Google's implementation of it, 
there are constant updates and rumoured features. 
Google Lens may soon get some educational features, 
including a camera mode that could help students 
with math problems if they're struggling with 
homework.
