Google Goggles: How the handy app works

With Google Goggles, you could have real objects or subjects scanned by your smartphone and then get matching search results. However, this was discontinued by Google in 2018 and replaced by another project, namely "Google Lens."

Google Glasses is now called Google Lens.

Google Goggles: These features the app has

Google Goggles could be easily downloaded from the Play Store and installed on your device. After that, you could use the app directly.

1. For this, you had to open the app and point the camera at the object to be scanned. This could be quite different things, such as objects in nature like trees, people, works of art or buildings.
2. Once you pressed the shutter button, the app scanned the object and provided matching search results.
3. With the app it was possible to get useful information about real objects or motifs.
4. After Google discontinued the "Goggles" app in 2018, another image recognition project followed. With "Google Lens", a similar, improved application is once again available.
5. You can also easily download this from the Google Play Store. In addition, this offers text recognition in addition to image recognition. The new application can also help with homework or recognizing buildings. Rechenaufgaben und Übersetzungen sind so viel einfacher möglich.
6. Mit „Google Lens“ haben Sie zudem die Möglichkeit, Kleidungsstücke und andere Objekte, die Sie sehen, auch online zu finden.
