Writing has always been the basis of any internet search. However, with the development of technology, other methods have emerged, such as voice commands and even searching through images. Now, Google is revealing its desire to continue investing in a more natural and intuitive search, combining images, sounds, text, and voice, as people naturally do.
According to the tech giant, the user will be able to ask questions with fewer words – or even no questions at all – however, the platform will understand exactly what you mean. The user will also be able to explore organized information in a way that makes more sense to him.
So, the new features for Google are:
- Make visual search more natural
More natural visual search with multiple search – a new way to search, using images and text simultaneously, just as a user does when they point to something and ask a friend what they are looking at. In addition, the company is developing a solution that allows the user to take a picture of an unfamiliar item, such as a dish or a plant, and find it nearby, such as a restaurant or garden store. We will start making Multiple Searches near me available in English in the US later this fall.
- Translate the world around us
Visual comprehension has the ability to break down language barriers. With advances in artificial intelligence (AI), Google has gone beyond “text translation to image translation”. It is now possible to integrate the translated text into the background image thanks to a machine learning technique called Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs). That is, if the user points his camera at a magazine in another language, for example, it will be possible to see the translated text and realistically superimposed on the images below.
- Explore the world with an immersive view
Information like the weather and how crowded a place is coming to Google Maps through immersive visualization. With this new experience, the user can feel and gain an idea of the place even before entering so that he can decide when and where to go.
