Google Lens launched in May last year and was supposed to be the future of search. Instead of typing in keywords, users simply pick up the camera and Google will automatically search for content related to the lens object. For example, by pointing a camera at the cover of a book, users can see where they can buy the book nearby, as well as publishers, user reviews, and so on. Focus your camera on a painting and it will tell you the name of the artist and the history of the artwork.
Google announced an expansion of this feature in February. “You need algorithms, data, and user feedback to build a product,” says Aparna Chennapragada, project manager for Google Lens. “You have to find a place to start. But the idea was, how can we scale this app to more users or devices?”
