谷歌安卓推出5个新功能,晕车的人有救了?

编者案：

谷歌这次给安卓推了五个新功能，有些看着眼熟——苹果早就有了，但谷歌靠Gemini加了些自己的小心思。最实用的大概是Motion Assist，坐车刷手机晕车的人有救了，屏幕上的小气泡会跟着车动，减少那种眩晕感。Guided Vision则用摄像头帮视障人士读小字、找东西，很贴心。还有Gemini能记住你把护照塞哪儿了，省得到处乱翻。

On Tuesday, Google announced it’s rolling out five new updates designed to make Android phones more accessible, useful, and personalized. Announced in a blog post, the features include those aimed at reducing motion sickness, helping blind and low-vision users navigate their surroundings, remembering where users leave important items, and another that adds new ways to personalize Google Messages.

周二，谷歌宣布推出五项新更新，旨在让安卓手机更易用、更有用、更个性化。这些功能在一篇博客文章中公布，包括旨在减轻晕动症的功能、帮助盲人和低视力用户导航周围环境的功能、帮助用户记住重要物品放置位置的功能，以及另一项为Google Messages增加个性化新方式的功能。

While some of the features see Google playing catch-up to Apple, which already offers similar features for iPhone users, others specifically leverage Gemini to provide various improvements.

虽然其中一些功能是谷歌在追赶苹果（苹果已为iPhone用户提供了类似功能），但另一些功能则专门利用Gemini来提供各种改进。

The most interesting update is “Motion Assist,” a feature designed to help people who experience motion sickness while using their phones in a moving vehicle. It adds a bubble overlay to the screen that moves in response to the vehicle’s motion, helping reduce the disconnect between what users see on their screens and what their bodies feel.

最有趣的更新是“Motion Assist”（运动辅助），这是一项旨在帮助在行驶车辆中使用手机时出现晕动症的用户的功能。它会在屏幕上添加一个气泡叠加层，该气泡会随车辆运动而移动，有助于减少用户屏幕上所见内容与身体所感之间的脱节。

The concept isn’t entirely new, however. Apple introduced “Vehicle Motion Cues” in 2024, which uses animated dots around the edges of the display that move in response to a vehicle’s motion.

不过，这一概念并非全新。苹果在2024年推出了“Vehicle Motion Cues”（车辆运动提示），它使用显示屏边缘周围动态移动的圆点来响应车辆的运动。

Users can set “Motion Assist” to turn on automatically, add it to Quick Settings, and customize the bubble’s shape, color, and transparency. Google says this feature is available to Android 17 users.

用户可以将“Motion Assist”设置为自动开启，将其添加到快速设置中，并自定义气泡的形状、颜色和透明度。谷歌表示，该功能适用于Android 17用户。

Google is also introducing “Guided Vision,” a feature designed with blind and low-vision users in mind. It combines the phone’s camera with Gemini to help with tasks such as reading small print on a food label, viewing a menu in a dark restaurant, or identifying objects around the house.

谷歌还推出了“Guided Vision”（引导视觉），这是一项专为盲人和低视力用户设计的功能。它将手机摄像头与Gemini相结合，帮助完成诸如阅读食品标签上的小字、在昏暗餐厅中查看菜单或识别家中物品等任务。

The feature can also provide voice guidance when the camera isn’t positioned correctly, telling users to move the phone, pan around, or center an object. Guided Vision is coming to phones running Android 9 and newer in countries where Gemini is available.

该功能还可以在摄像头位置不正确时提供语音引导，告诉用户移动手机、平移或使物体居中。“Guided Vision”将面向运行Android 9及更高版本、且所在国家/地区可使用Gemini的手机推出。

Another update gives Gemini a new way to help users remember where they put important items. A “remembered items” section in Find Hub will allow users to tell Gemini where they’ve stored something. For example, a user could say they put their passport in a bedroom drawer, and Gemini can save that information in Find Hub. Users can also attach a photo to make the item easier to identify later.

另一项更新为Gemini提供了一种新方式，帮助用户记住重要物品的放置位置。Find Hub中的“已记住物品”版块将允许用户告诉Gemini他们将某物存放在何处。例如，用户可以说自己把护照放在卧室抽屉里，Gemini便可将该信息保存到Find Hub中。用户还可以附上一张照片，以便日后更容易识别该物品。

Additionally, Google is adding a Google Keep integration to Google Messages, allowing people to share and edit grocery lists, vacation notes, and other information directly within a conversation.

此外，谷歌正在为Google Messages增加Google Keep集成，允许用户在对话中直接共享和编辑购物清单、假期备忘及其他信息。

Plus, Google Messages is getting more personalization options. Users will be able to customize individual chats with backgrounds, photos, and colors, Google says. The text bubbles will automatically match.

另外，Google Messages将获得更多个性化选项。谷歌表示，用户将能够为单个聊天设置背景、照片和颜色，文本气泡也会自动匹配。

Apple added a similar custom background feature to Messages last year.

苹果去年已为Messages添加了类似的自定义背景功能。
