Let’s take an example: you are in a restaurant and see a beautiful vase, you like it so much that you would like to have it yourself. But where do you buy that vase in question?

What is Google Lens? Google Lens is an app that revolves around smart object and text recognition through artificial intelligence. Lens uses the informa..
1. Super fast shopping
As described above, you can quickly locate objects and/or products with Google Lens. All you have to do is scan a product or a barcode and Google Lens will search the internet to find the product. The app then comes up with visual matches and stores where you can buy the photographed product. The function almost always works, although it does not always find exactly the same product.
2. Translation and copying of texts
You will sit in a restaurant in the heart of Paris and get a menu in French that you do not understand everything. This is something that happened to the Dutch press, and me personally, during an OPPO press trip in Paris. While a number of fellow tech editors were quickly retyping the text in Google Translate, fortunately there were also a number who simply knew Google Lens.

With Google Lens you can take a picture of a text, and then have it translated in one go. Fortunately, we could all see what we wanted to order, and the stuffed mushrooms with sweet and sour cream sauce were saved for me. However, if you still don’t know what a particular dish entails, Google Lens can help you by showing photos of the dish in question. You can read more about this here.
Subsequently, you can also scan texts and then copy them. This allows you, for example, to quickly copy entire texts in a book and save them to your phone.
3. X = square root of A+B?
Google Lens has had a homework filter since the end of 2020. This allows the app to help you solve math formulas, among other things. A position that unfortunately did not exist in my time, man how old I am. You simply snap a picture of a formula, equation, or other math-like thing and the app solves it for you. I have to admit that I have no idea if what Google Lens has done is correct, but the result below looks good. However?
4. Travel Guide
Another feature of Google Lens is that the app can serve as a kind of travel guide. The app also knows how to recognize well-known buildings and then show more information about them. Google Lens can recognize these buildings because Google has integrated the 3D models of the buildings, which were already available from Google Maps and Google Earth, into Lens. For example, you can learn more about the Louvre in Paris, the Sharp in London or Edinburgh Castle in Edinburgh.
