How Google Lens will tell you about the things around you

The Google lens will tell you about things around you.

I bought this plant to put in my garden in the backyard, but I don't know if it needs sun or shade. If I had known the name of this plant, I would have just revealed to Google how I take care of it, but I don't know what it is called. This is where Google Lens comes in. You focus on the natural world, and it will "google it." Imagine being able to "go to Google" for anything in the real world and online and wondering where your friend bought that item in the fabulous kitchen? Just root your phone with Google Lens, point it to the operator and get it. You will find a link to where to buy it. What is this menu item written in Italian? A Google lens can tell you.

 

How to get a Google Lens:

First, you need a cell phone, be it Android or iOS. For iOS (iPhone / iPad), Google Lens is part of the Google app. You need to install the Google app; then, you will see the lens button on the right of the search box. For Android, you need to install a different Google Lens app; its icon looks

.

When directing the phone's camera to an object, Google Lens will attempt to identify the thing by reading barcodes, QR codes, labels, and text and display relevant search results, web pages, and info. For example, when you point the device camera at a Wi-Fi label that contains the network name and password, it will automatically connect to a scanned Wi-Fi network. The lens is also integrated into Google Apps Photos and Google Assistant applications. The service is similar to Google Goggles, an earlier application that worked the same way but less power.  Lens uses in-depth learning methods to empower acquisition skills, such as other applications such as Bixby Vision (for Samsung devices released after 2016) and Image Analysis Toolset (available on Google Play ); During Google I / O 2019, Google announced four new features. The software will be able to view and recommend items in the menu. It will calculate tips and separate bills, show you how to prepare dishes from a recipe, and use text-to-speech.
