As students gear up for a new academic year, Shop with Google is making waves with a back-to-school campus tour that’s set to bring a fresh twist to shopping. Kicking off on August 22, 2024, this innovative tour is designed to show students how to make the most of Google Lens for their back-to-school needs. Here’s a closer look at what’s in store.
Exploring the Google Lens Experience
Google Lens, the tech giant’s visual search tool, is the star of this campus tour. By simply snapping a photo with their phones, students can quickly find and shop for similar products. This feature is especially handy for back-to-school shopping, helping students find items that fit their personal style effortlessly. Whether it’s trendy dorm decor or essential classroom supplies, Google Lens is poised to simplify the shopping experience.
