Google Lens, the company's image recognition technology, will soon allow a smartphone's camera to not only recognize objects in the real world but be combined with search terms to allow users to ask questions about what the camera sees.
Google has announced updates to its suite of AI-powered features in an effort to make it easier to look back and find meaningful moments and memories while giving better control over what is relived.
Google is taking to the stage at the Google I/O developer conference this week to show off its new products and technologies, one of which is a new AI-powered version of Google Photos. The new app will feature a host of new intelligent features, including the ability to colorize black-and-white photos with one tap.
Google made a bunch of interesting and exciting camera-related announcements at I/O 2017, and we'll cover them all, but one of the most intriguing was also one of the shortest. Google briefly showed off a powerful "content aware fill" feature that left people wide-eyed and clapping furiously.
Google demoed its much-hyped Project Glass at its I/O conference today, showing how the sleek camera-equipped "goggles" could one day allow point-of-view photos and videos to be beamed directly to others through the Internet. Four skydivers wearing the glasses beamed footage of their jump live through Google+ to the attendees in the SF conference center (see above video). They then "passed the baton" onto a group of bikers who did some tricks on the roof and then biked into the center, showing that the footage was in fact live.
