Bubble Zoom??? Google thinks it has solved the biggest problem with reading comics on your smartphone
Smartphones
are well-suited to many tasks — but reading comics is not one of them.
Even
on the biggest phablets, text bubbles become small and illegible, forcing the
reader to laboriously zoom in-and-out as they read.
But
Google thinks it has solved this problem with a nifty new feature called Bubble
Zoom.
Bubble
Zoom is built into an update for its ebook about Google Play Books, for
Android. It automatically detects texts bubbles in a comic and enlarges them —
letting the user clearly read what’s being said without having to zoom and
swipe around the page.
It’s
powered using Google’s machine learning tech, the
company said in a blogpost published Thursday.
Right
now, it doesn’t work on everything: Just “all Marvel and DC collected volumes.”
But the company has some high ambitions for the technology longterm.
“As
we continue to teach our machines to read more comic book styles,” it says,
“our goal is to eventually bring Bubble Zoom to all the comics and manga ever
made.”
