Google announced at the Mobile World Congress (MWC) that Gemini AI features are ready for a long wait for the official launch, almost a year after the initial announcement. Gemini Live is the most notable improvement, as it will soon allow live video streaming and screen sharing, features previously introduced under the name Project Astra.
Thanks to this update, users will be able to interact with AI by showing objects directly to the camera instead of relying solely on text commands.
Currently, Google's multimedia AI processes text, images, and documents efficiently, but its ability to analyze video remains unstable. Sometimes he can summarize a video on YouTube, while failing in some attempts for no apparent reason.
With the planned March update of the Gemini app on Android, this situation will change radically, as users will be able to turn on the camera to stream live video or share the screen, and ask the AI questions about what it sees.
Gemini Live's new
features screen sharing "ScreenShare"
The screen sharing tool "ScreenShare" allows users to share the content of their phone screen with the assistant Gemini to analyze it and respond to their queries based on it.
The company explained the mechanism of work with an explanatory video showing a user sharing a picture of pants and asking Gemini to suggest clothes to match him.
The feature aims to simplify everyday tasks, such as searching for specific information, by integrating AI into visual interactions.
