"The most useful bit, for me at least, came at the end. It's admittedly a boring, but now you an adjust your TV's settings just by talking. In the demo, Salahuddin Choudhary, Google's Gemini for Android product lead said, "Can you boost the dialogue?" and Gemini changed the mode accordingly, without leaving the golf game he was watching. I asked if it could turn off motion smoothing, the first thing I adjust on a new TV (and sometimes other people's). Yes, it can."
"The "deep dive" Gemini feature could prove fairly useful, too. With it, asking for general information turns into a mini lesson on the subject, complete with generated images and narration. When Choudhary asked Gemini to "explain the Northern Lights to [his] eighth grader," the screen filled with the standard Gemini answer: a brief definition and images and video tiles for further exploration. But a small Dive deeper button on the screen led to a narrated and illustrated tour of the science behind the phenomenon."
"Google Photos is getting a much deeper integration with Google TVs, too. Choudhary asked for pics from a trip to the beach and snapshots of happy people amongst the sea and sand popped up on the screen. One particular shot would make a nice screen saver, I was told, and he asked Gemini to give the photo an oil painting makeover using the Remix feature."
Gemini integration brings voice-based control to Google TV, allowing users to adjust audio and display settings while content continues playing. Voice commands can boost dialogue, disable motion smoothing, and change picture modes without interrupting viewing. A 'Deep Dive' mode converts general queries into narrated, illustrated mini-lessons with generated images and video tiles for further exploration, aimed at helping children and curious users understand complex topics. Google Photos integration enables voice retrieval of trip photos and on-screen image edits using the Remix feature, including stylistic transformations like an oil painting makeover. Features range from practical conveniences to novelty capabilities.
