Google unveiled a brand new Lens App.
Google I/O developer conference Sunder Pichai, CEO, Google, unveiled a new app, Google provided a look at its latest digital offerings, with a heavy focus on its efforts to extend artificial intelligence features into more of its apps and services.
As the Company explains, the smartphone won’t just see what you see but will also understand what you see to help you take actions.
During a demo, Google showed off how you could point your camera at something and Lens tells you what it is — like, it could identify the flower you’re preparing to shoot.
Pichai showed how lens could do a common task- connecting you to a home’s wifi network by snapping a photo of a sticker on the router. In that case, Google Lens could identify that it’s looking at a network’s name and password, then offer you the option to tap a button and connect automatically.
Another example, a photo of a business’s storefront, Google lens get you the details, menu, rates, business listings information in a card that appeared over the photo.
The technology basically turns into an active viewfinder, by capturing the image or object like a flower or a restaurant and you will get all the details regarding that particular.
On Google home demonstration, it was shown how lens could be conjoined for Google Assistance, through the lens app they can insert photo into conversation, processing the data the image contains.
To demonstrate the act, Google’s Scott Huffman, held his camera for concert marquee, for Stone Fox show, while Google Assistant pulled up the information regrading the dates, tickets sales, to which he said add to my calendar.
Not only that the lens with Google Assistant will also help translate. Huffman demonstrates this by holding up his camera to a sign in Japanese, tapping the Lens icon and saying “What does this say?” Google Assistant translated the text.
Pichai showed how Google’s algorithms could clean up and enhance photos — when you’re taking a picture of your child’s baseball game through a chain-link fence, Google could remove the fence from the photo automatically. Or if you took a photo in a low-light condition, Google could automatically enhance the photo to make it less pixelated and blurry.
Although availability of the lens app wasn’t confirmed. It is told to be arriving soon.
