American tech giant Google is reportedly exploring adding Lens to desktop search on the web.
Google Lens is primarily a visual lookup tool for mobile devices, but it has been branching out to Chrome.
The next expansion could see Google Search on the desktop web add Lens, IANS reported from San Francisco.
According to a user browsing with Incognito Mode, Lens on google.com appears in the search field next to the voice microphone.
The visual search tool is using the latest, whole-bodied camera icon that the Google app also uses.
Tapping invites the user to “Search any image with Google Lens”, with the ability to “drag an image here” or “upload via the standard file picker”.
The image appears at the left, while Knowledge Panels (when available) appear at the top-right followed by a grid of “Visual matches”.
Lens.google.com also lets you upload another image and search for something else.
Google Lens is coming to desktop as Apple’s platforms increasingly offer similar visual lookup tools
