Snapchat's new AR feature wants to be like Shazam but for the visual world

Um, Amazon has had this since 2010 or so? Hit the camera button in the app and it will (allegedly) identify any object and let you buy it on Amazon. It never works. It will also scan UPC codes, which occasionally works on very common items. There’s a new feature called StyleSnap which will identify all the pieces of an outfit from a photo. That also never works.
