Google<\/a>The investment in AI can be huge, and to really understand its vision in the virtual assistant space, you have to focus on the Project Astra<\/a> Project. As early as the spring of this year's Google I \/ O conference, Google has demonstrated this full-featured multimodal virtual assistant, and positioned it as the user's life in the \"constant companion assistant\". Although the technology is still between \"concept video\" and \"early prototype\", but it represents Google's most ambitious attempt in the field of artificial intelligence.<\/p>\n

One recurring element in Astra's demo caught people's attention: glasses. Google has been exploring the field of smart wearables for years, from Google Glass to Cardboard to the Project Iris translation glasses it showed off two years ago. Earlier this year, Google spokeswoman Jane Park said the glasses were \"just a functional research prototype\".<\/p>\n

However, things seem to be changing. At a media briefing prior to the release of Gemini 2.0, Bibo Xu, a product manager on Google's DeepMind team, revealed, \"A small group of people will test Project Astra through prototype glasses, which we think is one of the most powerful and intuitive ways to experience this kind of AI.<\/strong>.\" This portion of the testers will be affiliated with Google's Trusted Tester program, which typically has access to these early prototypes, many of which don't end up being released publicly. Some of the testers will reportedly use Astra through their Android phones, while others will experience it through glasses.<\/p>\n

During the Q&A session that followed, in response to a question about eyeglasses, Xu said \"We'll be posting more about the eyewear product itself soon!<\/strong>.\" This doesn't mean though that GoogleSmart glasses<\/a>Coming soon, but it certainly shows that Google has something planned for the hardware side of Project Astra.<\/p>\n

For what Google hopes to achieve with Astra.Smart glasses are excellent vehicles<\/strong>There's no better way to combine audio, video, and display than with a device worn on the face -- especially when the goal is to achieve a \"constant companion assistant\" like experience.

In one scene, he sees a bus drive by and asks Astra, \"Is this bus going to take me to the Chinatown neighborhood? While all of these things can be done with a cell phone, it's clearly more natural to do them with a wearable device.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
