Google will be rolling out a new Google Lens update which expands the visual search capability to videos. This feature which is available for both iOS and Android will feature a customised model of Gemini.
This new feature is made possible through the newly introduced customised Gemini model. It makes the model analyse the content of the videos to provide answers for the user. An executive member of the Lens team has stated that Google Lens will create an overview which provides answers to the user's queries. For instance, if a person wants to learn about a bird sitting on top of a tree, the user can use the Lens and the AI will analyse whatever is in front of it and provide an overview of the bird; what species they belong to and other relevant information.
Users who are interested in using this new Google Lens feature will have to sign up for Google's Search Labs. Interested individuals will have to choose the 'AI Overviews and More' feature in Search Labs.
Within Google's app, the users will have to press down on their phone's shutter button. This will turn on the video mode on Lens. Users can even ask queries while taking the video. Lens will then provide answers as crafted by AI Overviews. The company has stated that Lens utilises AI to figure out which part of the video or which frames are the most interesting or relevant to the questions being asked by the user.
Google has also introduced a new feature within Lens. Lens users will now be able to search by using images and texts simultaneously. Google Lens is also receiving a new feature which displays information about a specific product. The Product ID will provide users with information regarding the price, reviews, brands and more.
