And adhering to the popular adage, “a picture is worth a thousand words,” something Google believes fits its user base, The company said more than 12 billion visual searches are logged through Lens every month. To celebrate the achievement of results, Google has shared some tips on things you can do with Lens.
You may not have realized it yet, but Google Lens is literally a digital magnifying glass. This means that Anything you point to every day, whether it’s a building, a landmark, or just something you don’t know what it is, the system is always ready to recognize it for you and let you know.. For example, you’ve seen a statue or monument and want to know more about its historical context, there’s nothing a photo can’t resolve. Or a plant you don’t know and want to know if it adapts to your garden.

Google Lens also offers some filters, which help highlight the help you need. For example, there A filter intended for homework, allowing through this to get help in solving a mathematical equation, but also history, science and other subjects.

This also applies to the description of shirt patterns, but it is suitable for curtains.
You can also search for meals near you. A photo of a dish you would like to try, but you don’t know its name, you can always ask Google Lens for help. You can complete the search by typing “near me”, and restaurants that serve the dish will be listed.
Google also mentions that Lens will soon arrive at Bard, thus combining the power of generative AI in searches. In the coming weeks, it will be possible to include images in Bard prompts, with Lens working in the background to help the AI understand what is being displayed.. In the example given, you could show Bard a photo of a new pair of shoes that you plan to buy and ask its name. Or have the system complete the look with matching ideas for gladiator sandals.
