Using artificial intelligence, Google Lens is a visual search feature that analyzes objects in a smartphone photo and provides search results or relevant information about it.
The feature can be used on various objects including landmarks, buildings, books, plants, animals, paintings in a museum, business cards, flyers, and billboards. For an example, when used on landmarks, Google Lens will provide details such as address, hours of operation, historical facts, and ratings.
