- Google is testing a new Gemini Live feature that overlays Google Maps info cards during camera sharing sessions.
- The cards display place names, types, average ratings, and number of reviews right on the user’s screen.
With the Pixel 10 series launch, Google added a new visual guidance feature to Gemini Live’s camera sharing functionality. This handy feature highlights the correct objects on your screen to help you pinpoint them in real life. More upgrades are planned for Gemini Live’s camera sharing feature, as Google app v16.35.63 beta includes code that enables Google Maps info cards on your screen during a session.
Currently, users can use Gemini Live’s camera sharing feature to learn more about the places in front of them. They can point their phone’s camera towards any storefront, restaurant, place of historical significance, etc., and ask Gemini Live questions about it. Using the Google Maps extension, Gemini Live will pull key information, like average ratings and number of ratings about the place, and speak the information out to you. You can get this information displayed on the screen using Captions.
