Let us detail discuss on all above features one by one.

Google lens is used to recognized objects

With Google Lens, you can point your phone at an unknown object (say, a flower), and it will help identify what it is. In the example Google used, Lens identified a flower species named Milk and Wine Lily.

We're not too sure how extensive this feature is, but since Google Assistant can already identify monuments and landmarks from photos, we wouldn't be surprised if you could point your phone at a building and Google Lens could identify it as, say, the Eiffel Tower in Paris or Brandenburg Gate in Berlin.

In addition to flowers, it'd be great if it could identify birds for the amateur ornithologist or cars for the car enthusiast.

Scan the QR code or Bar code or add any meeting in Google Calendar with google lens

The biggest audience reaction Lens got at I/O was when it read the name and password of a Wi-Fi network on a router, then automatically signed and connected the phone to the network. The idea that Lens can carry out a multistep task (not to mention solve that familiar first-world problem of crawling under a desk and taking a picture of someone's 17-character-long password) is exciting and makes us speculate what else it could do.Perhaps it can autoconnect to Bluetooth after you scan an object's product number, or carry out a purchase on Android Pay after you scan a barcode, or add an event to your Google Calendar after scanning a flyer.

Gathering the reviews of restaurant & Shopping Mall with the google lens

Lens can also scan the facade of nearby businesses and call up info and reviews of that particular place. This makes a lot of sense given Google's expansive database of places, photos and streets. We wouldn't be surprised if Lens could identify text and signages of other things, like how Google Translate can already translate different languages of signs when you point your camera to them. Calling up more info for other things like wine labels (third-party apps like Vivino and Samsung's AI Bixby Vision already do this), food packaging and medicine labels.

We haven't tried Google Lens out for ourselves, but from what we've seen so far, it's pretty nifty and easy to use, and we're looking forward to when it rolls out.
