Google has just announced some pretty cool features intended to make web searching on tablets greatly enhanced and interactive. For starters, they've added a new image carousel for viewing large image results within a few swipes. When users tap on an image result, it’ll expand in the carousel view and users can swipe through the search results. Also, to learn more about an image, a simple tap on the web page preview, title, description or URL will take users directly to the webpage as highlighted in the video below:
