Overall

 

Incremental updates to

  • Android
  • Google Home
  • Google Assistant
  • Android TV
  • Daydream VR

... and Google wants to help you get a job.

Google Lens is Amazing

  • Google is bringing visual search to your phone.
  • Identify paintings, buildings and flowers with your phone’s camera
  • Auto-recognize the Wi-Fi login details on a router sticker and connect right away
  • Overlay reviews and details above storefronts just by holding up your camera
  • Google boasts powerful machine learning and data collection tools. That’s at the core of this technology.

Google Assistant on iPhone

  • Siri isn’t going anywhere in your life on an iPhone

  • Google’s slightly smarter AI helper now on iOS

  • Google Assistant understands the words 'it' and 'that' in a bid to grasp natural language.

  • The secret benefit: Google opening up Assistant to millions of iPhone users means Google Assistant can get even better on Android and other devices, too. Your data is a powerful tool for AI learning.

Google Photos:
Machine learning magic

  • Remove distracting objects that stand between you and an awesome photo.

Google Cloud

  • Matches AWS in Capabilities
  • Exceeds AWS in Artificial Intelligence
  • Always Free Tier
  • Demo

Google Home Calls

  • You’ll soon be able to make hands-free calls in the US and Canada at no cost, and Google promises that there’s no setup or additional apps to download. It uses your normal number.
  • Better yet, Google Assistant is supposed to be able to distinguish between your ‘call mom’ and that of anyone else in your household, including a partner or roommate.

Google Home Visual Responses

  • We already have a ton of screens in our home for giving Google Home visual responses.

  • Google Home will be able to flash map directions, calendar appointments, weather, and personalized YouTube results on a television or phone – whatever works best for you.

Google Home Proactive Responses

  • Google wants to understand the context of your daily life, and it’s using Home to proactively remind you of critical events, not just answer your questions.
  • It’ll alert you of reminders, traffic delays and flight status changes in the latest update. You’re no longer going to have to be the one to start the conversation every time.

Never Leave Daydream VR

  • YouTube VR & Chrome
  • Seurat, is bringing high-fidelity scenes to mobile VR, and used Star Wars Rogue One for movie-quality rendering in real-time.
  • Demo

360-Degree Video on TV

  • You’ll soon be able to watch 360-degree videos – including live 360 videos – on your Android TV or an Xbox One console.

Google Tango Sci-Fi AR

  • We became part of a classroom with other ‘students’ peering at the solar system before them. Giant planets appeared before our eyes – at least through the augmented phone screen.
  • We then watched a Wizard of Oz fairy tale starring the Scarecrow, Tin man and Cowardly Lion (and Toto, too). The animations were fun, and you could put people right into the scene.
