Following rumors of a Pixel Tablet 2 in the works, Google appears to be readying a new “Look and Sign” feature to enable a new way to interact with the Google Assistant.
About APK Insight: In this “APK Insight” post, we’ve decompiled the latest version of an application that Google uploaded to the Play Store. When we decompile these files (called APKs, in the case of Android apps), we’re able to see various lines of code within that hint at possible future features. Keep in mind that Google may or may not ever ship these features, and our interpretation of what they are may be imperfect. We’ll try to enable those that are closer to being finished, however, to show you how they’ll look in the case that they do ship. With that in mind, read on.
One of the features of Nest Hub Max that has yet to make its way to the Pixel Tablet is “Look and Talk.” Humorously referred to internally as “blue steel” or “LnT,” Look and Talk uses the display’s built-in camera to (locally) recognize when someone is both looking at and speaking to the device. We’ve previously found signs of Look and Talk in development for the Pixel Tablet, but six months later, it has yet to launch.
In the latest beta update to the Google Search app, version 15.
