Google Lens is turning into your vacation travel guide this summer

A new filter for Places has been added in Google Lens. You can use it to aim at well-known buildings to get more information. Lens can thus serve as a travel guide for a holiday or a city trip.

Google Lens just got a little smarter again. Google’s object recognition can now recognize well-known buildings that you image with the camera of your phone. you will then receive more information about the building from the Google search results, which Google will announce in a blog post.

Google has trained the machine learning technology behind Lens to recognize buildings using the three-dimensional models already available in Google Earth. Based on this, the app can now immediately show a pin when such a well-known building is recognized.
