Travo Lens is an AI-powered, camera-first travel discovery app that helps people understand and explore unfamiliar surroundings. Instead of searching manually for nearby attractions, travelers can point their phone camera at the environment and discover relevant landmarks and places around them. Travo Lens combines camera input, GPS location and magnetometer-based compass direction to display location-aware labels over the live camera view. Its AI backend uses Meta Muse Spark for visual scene analysis, while OpenStreetMap data and Overpass API queries help cross-check discovered places against real-world geographic information. The application also supports saving discovered locations locally using Zustand and AsyncStorage, allowing users to revisit saved discoveries even when offline. Travo Lens aims to make exploring unfamiliar places more intuitive by connecting what travelers see through their camera with useful local knowledge.
