Remember when Pixel 3 and 3XL were released? Even though Night Sight stole the show at the event, Google also announced a slew of cool (and mostly useful) camera features for phones; One of those features was the Photobooth option on the Pixel camera that automatically takes selfies when you're grinning funny or smiling broadly ... you know, things like that.

Now, Google has added "AI Kiss Detection" to the camera application in Pixel's Photobooth mode. Basically, your smartphone will now automatically take selfies when you kiss someone.

So, if you're trying to capture a moment with your partner, the Pixel camera has made it easier than ever.

However, according to Google, making it easier was a big challenge. Since people do not usually look at their camera when they kiss someone, and even their eyes may be closed, Google can not train the AI ​​camera the way they would train it to get smiles or silly faces. To do this, Google really created another model for the camera application to detect when people kiss in the frame.

According to Google Blog, where the company describes how it makes Photobooth work the way it does, it says "The frame score considers both the quality of facial expression and the kiss score."

What's more, AI also emphasizes foreground expressions instead of what happens in the background, and clicks on the image when AI finds a good overall score for the image. However, it also maintains a short frame buffer, and if you find a frame that looks better than the one you actually clicked on, it will replace it on its own so you can get the best kiss shot.

The Photobooth feature is now available in Pixel 3, so if you have a Pixel 3 or Pixel 3 XL, you can continue and click on all those photos of kisses with your partner that used to be much more work.
