Google started rolling out Search with Live View, a Maps feature that adds search capability to the app’s augmented reality layer, in September. The feature was only accessible in London, Los Angeles, New York, San Francisco, Paris, and Tokyo at the time. Google said today that it will introduce Search with Live View to Barcelona, Dublin, and Madrid in the next months. In addition, the business is significantly extending the availability of Live View inside indoor settings. Google said on Wednesday that it would extend the feature to more than 1,000 additional airports, railway stations, and shopping malls in locations such as Barcelona, London, Madrid, Paris, and Singapore. The expansion will take place in the next months.
Elsewhere, Google (via The Verge) highlighted some of its other AI-augmented search projects. In one demonstration, the corporation requested a list of the finest constellations to look for while stargazing. Note, Google’s demonstration was not as polished as Microsoft’s “new Bing” showing yesterday. In that case, Bing gave the user with footnotes and links to the material it utilised to describe its conclusions, while Google’s presentation did not.
