Google DeepMind Launches Interactive AI Magic Pointer Demos: Try the Future of Computing
The mouse pointer has not changed much in over 50 years. Google DeepMind wants to change that, and it just shared demos to show what it believes it will look like with its Magic Pointer.
The project, powered by Gemini, tries to remove the friction associated with AI tools that live in their own window. This in turn forces users to stop what they're doing, switch apps, and explain or re-explain their context. DeepMind's prototype is designed to fix that. The AI follows the cursor across whatever the user is doing, so pointing at something and asking about it, doesn't require a separate, detailed prompt.
