Google Introduces Real-Time AI Camera Sharing in Search
Google Expands AI-Powered "Live" Search Capabilities Across Platforms
At today's I/O developer conference, Google unveiled expanded access to its innovative "Live" mode feature, enabling users to explore their surroundings through AI-powered visual search. The technology will soon integrate with Google Search's enhanced AI Mode and is coming to the Gemini iOS app following its successful Android debut last month.
From Project Astra to Mainstream Search
The camera-sharing functionality first emerged as part of Google's experimental Project Astra during last year's I/O event, subsequently evolving into Gemini Live for Android devices. This breakthrough technology transforms mobile cameras into interactive AI assistants, allowing real-time conversations about physical environments - whether identifying ingredients for meal planning or explaining complex objects.
Direct Integration with Search AI Mode
Google is revolutionizing search by incorporating this visual intelligence directly into its core Search experience alongside Google Lens. Users activating the new "Live" icon can instantly stream their camera feed to receive contextual information about their surroundings through natural language queries. Launching in beta this summer under the Live Search branding, this feature joins other AI Mode innovations including:
- Advanced Deep Search for comprehensive research
- Automated web interaction through AI agents
- Next-generation e-commerce tools
Cross-Platform Availability
The iOS version of Gemini will soon mirror Android's capabilities, adding both camera and screen-sharing functionality. After initially testing these features on premium devices like the Pixel 9 and Galaxy S25, Google expanded support to all Android users. In a consumer-friendly move, the company reversed its initial plan to restrict core features behind the Gemini Advanced paywall, ensuring free access across platforms.
