Google Lens, which was announced during the<br />

very first minutes of I/O, is essentially a supercharged<br />

version of Google Goggles. Built into Assistant and<br />

Photos, the new machine learning AI promises to<br />

decode the world around us by using Google’s AR and<br />

neural networks to scan images and pull out relevant<br />

bits of data. Here are the six things we’re most excited<br />

to try out.<br />

Translation<br />

Google Translate is already one of our go-to tools<br />

when trying to read text in a different language, but<br />

Google Lens takes it out of the Translate app and<br />

puts it right into Photos. To translate something, you<br />

need only snap a picture of it and call on Google<br />

Lens’ smarts. This approach makes using Translate’s<br />

technology even simpler, and we’ll be much more<br />

likely to remember to use it in a pinch.<br />
