Gemini Live introduces Guided Vision
Google is launching Guided Vision in Gemini Live on compatible Android devices. Developed with blind and low-vision people, it turns a shared camera view into conversational visual assistance.
Spoken guidance helps frame the camera
The Google announcement describes audio explanations of surroundings and verbal cues that help a person reframe the camera. Gemini can ask the user to tilt down, pan or move back when it needs a clearer view.
