Google Lens was introduced to the Chrome browser for laptop and desktop users back in 2021. The AI-powered technology, first introduced for compatible Android smartphones, uses deep machine learning to detect an object in front of the camera lens (or a still photo on a computer) and offer smart details about it. This can range from scanning the image to identifying what it is and finding others like it, defining text in the image, translating text, providing shopping links to buy the same (or a similar) item, and more.
