Google recently announced new capabilities for its Gemini Live, enabling it to answer user questions and "see" what's on a user's screen in real-time via a smartphone camera. These new features, developed under Google's Project Astra, are the culmination of nearly a year of research and development. According to Google spokesperson Alex Joseph, the Gemini Live updates mean users can expect a more intelligent and intuitive experience when using their phones with the assistant.

In its latest presentation, Google unveiled Project Astra, a plan by the DeepMind team aimed at building real-time, multi-modal AI agents running on a mysterious prototype pair of glasses. On Wednesday, Google announced that it would release these AI and AR-enabled prototype glasses to a select group of users for real-world testing. The translation feature demonstrated on the Google prototype glasses showcases that they are equipped with the Android XR operating system, a new platform designed by Google for visual computing, aimed at supporting glasses and ear devices.
