Google Lens is quite useful, but it can only do so much without help from other apps, to which it promptly directs you when its capabilities reach their limit. In the near future, that might not be an issue anymore.

According to 9to5Google, Google Lens will soon introduce a new host of ‘filters’ that will be targeted to augmented reality tasks. The translate filter could be capable to auto-detect a language and convert it into the language of your choice, without having to copy the text then launch Google Translate.

The 9to5Google team decompiled the latest version of an application Google uploaded to the Play Store and found the details for such filters, which include not only a ‘translate’ string name but one for ‘dining’ and ‘shopping’ as well.

The ‘dining’ filter seems to search nearby restaurants that offer popular dishes and also give users the ability to only see the restaurants highlighted in the viewfinder. The ‘shopping’ filter on the other hand, seems to be focused on identifying clothing and furniture.

These filters will most likely allow the users to choose the type of help they need by narrowing down their search results, rather than just letting Google figure out by itself what it is searching for. Let’s face it, Google Lens doesn’t always send back accurate search results, so by adding this new layer onto the feature, it could make a huge difference in refining the accuracy of the search.

For the time being, it’s unclear when this upgrade will launch, but, considering the feature initially debuted during Google’s developer conference, we might get to see its improved version around the same time this year.
