Despite having generated a variety of divisions for Alphabet, the Google matrix remains a huge company, so it is not surprising that its annual developer conference covers a territory like a continent. During the main presentation of two hours, the company took the audience on a tour of their upcoming tools and technologies. Here’s a quick trip through what you missed. And do not forget to consult our analysis on Google VR Daydream, Android and artificial intelligence
A global game of paper airplanes and, to quote one of our bloggers live, “videos of a lot of people happy doing weird things “anticipating the event set the tone and, as usual, began with a recap of the evolution of Google and how well it is doing.
Android
Google gave released a preview of the new version of its mobile operating system Android N last March. Today introduced some new features beyond that earlier, including support for virtual reality through its Daydream platform (see below), automatically removing apps that are used less frequently than the home screen, and improving switching between tasks, other skills. Today the company is launching a candidate to go to market with beta quality.
It incorporates the engine graphics processing Vulkan and overall improvements in processing for better performance and framework improved security, and automatically update your operating system (although that does not mean that the latest updates will be available for your phone).
what does the “N”? For the moment, nothing. Google announced a contest to name the operating system as your favorite ever dessert and when you start with the letter “N” because there are not many obvious choices.
The efficiency seems to be the goal of the highly anticipated update to Android for your smart watches, Android Wear 2.0 which will be coming to developers this week and the rest of us later in the year. It is designed to deliver better battery life, free phone operation, better support for physical activity and a more intelligent and predictive operation. Smart Reply, handwriting recognition and a new keyboard are some of its highlights. The previous developer will be available from today, and ordinary users receive it in the fall.
Instant Apps is another attempt to improve efficiency, in this case through simplified integration between the Web mobile and independent mobile apps. Individual technology modules download an app to order instead of asking you to download the full app. It should improve the convenience in making payments and so on, but this is another triumph for business and developers to consumers; It increases the chances that you will be with them on their way to monetization. Work with versions as old as Jellybean OS.
Android VR
items virtual reality Google post-Cardboard are in the phase of sleep for consumers but the company did show his glasses with reference design, a control platform and tools for your next virtual reality solution based on Android, Daydream. It is available for developers.
It requires a heavy-duty phone; Google unveiled the specifications that make a phone is ready to Daydream. Compatible phones will be available this fall by the major manufacturers. There is also a mode of virtual reality that includes performance optimizations and RV interface to navigate apps. Much RV and games optimized for content are in preparation, including own Play Movies, Google Street View and Google Photos of.

Applying artificial intelligence to improve the capabilities residing in Google Now, the Google Assistant that emulates Siri hopes seek more interaction to improve their conversational skills and ability to predict searches and refine results, and other functions. also, in addition to appearing on mobile devices, is now the epicenter of the rather generic title Google Home (formerly called Project Chirp), a device that the company introduced as a rival to the Amazon Echo (even was . mentioned and criticized during the presentation)
it looks like a horn – indeed it is, and it works with Google Cast – and the design is quite nice Now you can stroll around your house muttering. “OK , Google. “It will be available this year. You will also be able to access, with your permission, all your personal information stored on Google, such as your calendar.
Communication
Maybe the third time lucky when it comes to a instant messaging app Google. The Mountain View giant never seemed scoring in this sector, launching and Hangouts Talk. But now Google says Allo rival to Facebook Messenger and to some extent, Snapchat. Its special feature: integration with Google Assistant. The assistant will get into your conversation to suggest answers, based up on the photographic content. The wizard also shall bring your spoon when you see reviews that can help, such as finding the nearest restaurant offering the kind of cuisine you’re talking about, and then can even make reservations for you. The Whisper Shout functions (mutter and shout) can increase or decrease the text font to denote it intensity of what you say. You can also go incognito in Allo with point to point encryption and the ability to delete conversations.
But wait, there’s more. When text messages are not enough, now there is also the Google video chat Duo, which is a basic application created in response to Apple’s FaceTime and Skype from Microsoft. Unlike Hangouts, it is designed to communicate one to one. The novelty of this app is that you can have a preview of the video of the caller before answering, a feature called Knock Knock. It will be available on both Android and iOS from this summer.
Tools for desarrolladore s
the development environment google, Android Studio 2.2 offers a faster time for project development, test record, and designs and constructions faster delivery. The Layout Designer has been redesigned to be more automation. It has also added a new analyzer APK, inspector design, new quality controls in code analysis and the latest version of IntelliJ IDE. And there is also a more extensive platform support, including C ++ compiler improved and Jack / Java8.
There is also a new version of Firebase, the management tool developer apps. Firebase Analytics aims to improve business intelligence and CRM customize notifications. Firebase Remote Config allows greater experimentation, and Dynamic Links can be adapted depending on the current screen. Everything is integrated in Big Queries, the data warehouse Google.
Google is working on integrating more artificial intelligence, machine learning ( machine learning ) and APIs visions computerized to Google Cloud platform. You are adding faster hardware, Tensor Processing Units, to improve the response of computing based on artificial intelligence.
