Description
What is it: Instead of having the user say "Hey Google" or have them pressing the button on their watch, they can simply just raise the watch nearby their mouth and have the watch automatically activate the google assistant making their interaction much faster.
Benefits: Faster interactions with google assistant, helpful when exercising (Since the user doesn't have to press the button to activate assistant),
Example: Say if I'm jogging and would like to know the current temperature, right now I would have to either press the button on my watch, or say "hey google" which is tedious giving that it would distract me from my jog. Now let's say if this feature were to be implemented, I would simply just need to raise the watch and ask my question. With this, I would not be distracted from my jog which makes my interaction with the google assistant much more pleasurable.
