Google wants to let you use your phone as a remote Googlebook trackpad
Remote Googlebook control could be possible with a "Cast trackpad" on Android phones.
Google is set to introduce a new feature for their upcoming Googlebook laptops, allowing users to control these devices remotely through their Android phones. This development marks a significant step in Google's strategy to integrate heavy cross-connectivity between Android devices and Googlebooks. The company envisions users being able to not only cast apps from their phones to their Googlebooks but also interact with them in a more direct manner, using the phone's touchscreen as a trackpad for the laptop.
The concept of employing a phone as a remote control is not entirely new. Users have been using their phones to control various devices through associated apps for some time now. However, the potential of using a phone's touchscreen as a trackpad for a Googlebook is a new frontier. This approach closely resembles the Google TV control offered through Google Home, where users operate smart TVs using their phone's touchscreen.
