Google has released a new update to make searching for information about the COVID-19 vaccine and registration easier. In the wake of the country's growing number of Coronavirus cases, the US-based company has added new functionality to Google Maps to assist people in India in locating vital mechanisms to search medical oxygen and hospital beds.

Google Search is one of the most significant changes Google has made to its website. When a user searches for COVID-19 on Google, they will be directed to information about vaccines, vaccination centers, and appropriate measures to take to prevent the virus from spreading. The search engine also provides a connection to the government's CoWIN system.

Furthermore, Google Search promotes genuine information from the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare on virus self-care, prevention, and treatment. In addition, Google has created dedicated Doodles on its homepage to raise vaccine awareness and enable people to wear masks.

The company's Google Maps feature also allows users to share the locations of over 23,000 vaccination clinics around the country. To stop false information, the information is made directly available on government websites in as many as eight Indian languages.

Not only that, but Google has also introduced Q&A functions that enable people to exchange information locally. However, since this information is provided by users, Google cannot guarantee its accuracy.

Using VR and AR to form education engaging

Digital and augmented reality, once thought to be used for entertainment, are now being used to teach schoolchildren, construction workers, and even surgeons. Image Source - Google | Image by -  raconteur While the use of technology in the classroom has become commonplace, some companies and colleges have taken it to new heights with virtual and augmented reality. Virtual reality and augmented reality, which were once best known for fun apps like the Pokémon Go app and Snapchat filters, are progressively being used in conjunction with conventional training. AR had an important positive effect on both duration and information retention in a new survey of 151 adults conducted by Neuro-Insight, Mindshare UK, and Zappar. However, there are limitations, such as cost, accessibility, and user willingness, to name a few. Immersive learning, on the other hand, has a lot of potential to spice up skills and boost educational outcomes as it becomes more commonplace. Helping surgeons practise o...
