Google Lens is a feature announced by Google during Google I/O 2017.[1] It is designed for bringing up relevant information based on what your camera sees. For example, if you point your camera to a Wi-Fi sticker, the app will automatically connect to the Wi-Fi source that has been scanned, or if you point your camera to a restaurant, it will instantly pop up reviews and information about the restaurant.[2] It is also integrated with the Google Photos and Google Assistant apps.[3] The service is much like Google Goggles,[4] a previous app that functioned the same way except not as advanced as Google Lens.[5] Google has said that the app will be coming in 2017, but there's no exact date.[6]
