Google Lens is coming soon to your phone’s camera

For starter, Google Lens is not that new. It has so far been available inside Google Photos for a whole bunch of smartphones, including iPhones, and through Google Assistant. Today at Google IO it’s been revealed that Lens is ready to invade your camera app too. As part of the latest update, Google Lens is going to install into different Android devices’ cameras, such as Google Pixel 2 and LG 7 ThinQ, etc. So there is no need to open a separate app.

There is also a real-time finder that examines what your camera sees even before you press click. For example, If you point your camera at a poster of a musician, Lens can also start playing a music video. Here is how it works! You open any camera app, and Google Lens will analyze and tell you what’s in the picture. The photo recognition tool gives users more information about things like books, buildings, and artworks.

You simply take a photo, and the camera tool will process the pixels through machine learning to provide more details and relevant search tags. On top of that, Google has more of an eye on retail with this new update to Lens. Instead of just identifying clothes, it will also provide you shopping links and addresses, but only if it knows the brand or style. Google Lens even recognises text form now, so you can copy and paste words from the real world into your phone, which is similar to Google Translate Image that already exists. Furthermore, there’s a crossover between Google Lens and Maps this time around, which will add AR to Street View and help you navigate in real life
