If you have a Sony Internet TV or one of those Sony Blu-ray players with Google TV functionality, you’ll be glad to know that Google has confirmed upcoming Chrome improvements and Blu-ray 3D support in its next update to Google TV.
No less than the search giant confirmed the update, which unfortunately, will not be applicable to the Logitech Revue. Google has been working on improving its Google TV venture, promising to bring useful apps and other popular features to living rooms. Google TV didn’t quite make it to mainstream consumers in 2011 but the company is hoping to change all that this year.
Chrome Improvements
The update, which is expected to be rolled out this week, includes performance enhancements that aim to improve the user experience on its TV-optimized Chrome. These improvements are designed to make browsing the web on your TV smoother and more intuitive. Users can expect faster load times, better compatibility with a wider range of websites, and a more seamless integration with other Google services. This is particularly important as more people are using their TVs not just for watching shows and movies, but also for browsing the internet, checking emails, and even social media.
Blu-ray 3D Support
In addition to the Chrome improvements, the update will also bring Blu-ray 3D support to Sony Blu-ray players with Google TV functionality. This means that users will be able to enjoy their favorite 3D Blu-ray movies in full high-definition 3D right from their living room. This is a significant enhancement for movie enthusiasts who want to experience the latest in home entertainment technology. The addition of Blu-ray 3D support is a clear indication that Google is committed to keeping its Google TV platform competitive with other smart TV options on the market.
Google has been steadily working on making Google TV a more attractive option for consumers. The company has been adding new features and improving existing ones to ensure that users have a rich and engaging experience. For instance, Google TV now supports a wide range of apps, including popular streaming services like Netflix, Hulu, and YouTube. This makes it easier for users to access their favorite content without having to switch between different devices.
Moreover, Google has been focusing on making the user interface more user-friendly. The latest update is expected to include a more intuitive navigation system, making it easier for users to find what they are looking for. This is particularly important for older users or those who are not as tech-savvy, as it reduces the learning curve and makes the technology more accessible.
Another exciting development is the integration of voice search functionality. This allows users to search for content using their voice, making it even easier to find what they are looking for. This feature is particularly useful for those who have difficulty using a traditional remote control or for those who simply prefer the convenience of voice commands.
