Google Lens is a useful application that has the potential to open many closed doors that could otherwise trip up learners. Take, for example naming a tool or trying to find the English word a ruler. It may be challenging to ask for an item you need if you are unsure what it is called. I understand that a person could merely do a quick google search or use a translator, but both of these options fall on paper or analog origins. Thank to the mobility that mobile devices have provided us. Google Lens bridges that gap between gesturing at an item, grunting, and hoping others understand what you need. By being able to snap a photo of any objects in your near vicinity. A user can retrieve that item’s name, use, Wikipedia entry, Amazon page, and even its price if applicable. It has its limitations since an actual person is not individually identifying the object, and a lot of hope is placed on machine learning and the information that already exists on the internet. But this is a promising technology that has a myriad of creative uses. The app can lead users to false identification of some funky items that are similar but not alike—Although the benefits out way the cons from what I have observed. Google lens takes up where the practice of user-generated system classification and organization leaves off. The app taps into the endless amounts of data within the Google search engine to provide users with information about items in their near vicinity.
