You should found it in your camera section

Open camera and press to different modes.

Look for "Downloadable" and Info-Eye should be there.

Or another way is to google it and download it from the sites. The Info-Eye is free so there's no such piracy here.

And once you downloaded and installed it,the Info-Eye camera app is only accessible from the camera itself and cant be founded in app drawer.

Happy Holidays!

I can't find it on Z5c running 5.1.1. Might be removed as far as I can tell, perhaps some markets still have it. Will try to grab some info after the holidays @azzido.

The camera app Info-eye™ is not pre-installed or available for download for the Xperia™ Z5/Z5 Dual, Xperia™ Z5 Compact and the Xperia™ Z5 Premium. This is due to the fact that Info-eye™ has been discontinued, and it is not supported anymore.

@azzido this is what information I have received.

A week ago I got Xperia XZ1 Compact. The phone is now updated to 47.1.A.16.20 (android 8). Yesterday I wanted to scan a QR code and fter some googling I found about Info-Eye. I also found it in Google Play store. The app isn't available for my device but almost everything that's on Google play is also on apkmirror.com

Here's how I got Info-Eye on my phone:

on PC I downloaded latest Info-Eye from apkmirror
moved the apk from downloads to a folder in Google Drive (still on PC)
on my phone I opened the default file browser and browsed to a forementioned folder in Google Drive
clicked the apk file and agreed to a warning about apps from unknown sources. It then installed the Info-Eye

Now I have Info-Eye listed as one of the creative filters in camera and it works with QR codes. Nice

Info-Eye on Xperia XZ1 Compact

UPDATE 2019-01-28: after I got Pie update the camera interface changed and was without info-eye. I installed the info-eye once more but it didn't show up in the camera modes. It's also nowhere to be found in the app manager (settings/apps and notifications)

The same way you can use for Google Lens, which is more sophisticated product. And it goes also quite well even in countries where it is not allowed in G Play.
