Now the eyes of the world against Google – Aftonbladet

San Francisco. Today starts Google’s large conference on the tech giant’s backyard in Mountain View.

Here is some of the hot news leaked even before the star shot gone.

When reporters registered to Google’s big developer conference Google IO consisted press kit of goodies water bottle, sunglasses, sunscreen (conference held at Google headquarters in Mountain View, where it is warmer and sunnier than inside in San Francisco) and also a Google Cardboard.

Google’s virtual reality kit was launched two years ago and was a super cheap variant of what was to come. VR budget class, you might say.

Carton or luxury

Cardboard kit requires you to download a VR app for your phone and place it inside the box. Critics argue that Google shot themselves in the foot by launching such simple VR experience, but on the other hand, thousands of people had the opportunity to experience virtual reality. Among other things, Google has shipped their boxes to schools, where students had the opportunity to visit both the planet Mars and the Chinese wall in the classroom.

This year, the VR industry hit the roof – stylish design and expensive Oculus Rift and Playstation VR has ended up on the sales counters.

It all expect the first day of Google IO is a new VR set to be launched – Android VR. According to rumors, it should be a VR-set that is not in the same class as the top competitors, but fills a gap and is better VR Gear.

“Ok Google” home

For all Android- users who daily use the command “Ok, Google” to smoothly get answers to questions by phone will be another exciting news.

Google is expected to launch a digital home assistant who, like the phone can service their owners of searches online and answer questions like: How’s the weather? Just shout out their issues at home and “Chirp” is the working title for the digital assistant, hopefully answers. Chirp could become a competitor to Amazon’s Echo, but Amazon’s invention has substantial lead.

More visions

This is the first developer conference since Google reorganized and founders Sergey Brin and Larry Page with hot hand placed over basic activities Sundar Pichai. The wanted to devote himself to other than search and Google Maps. Alphabet, as the new Google now called, handles future innovations, self-driving cars and contact lenses that can measure sugar levels in the blood. Another project Alphabet steering wheels is about to stop aging.

If is something of the former founders of new projects will be presented at the Google party remains to be seen.
