The company GoPro, which is famous for its action cameras, is not resting on its laurels, as it is diligently expanding its "vehicle fleet". After recently announcing the arrival of their own drones equipped with GoPro camera technology, which is actually just a response to the competition, together with Google they are plowing the field in the field of virtual reality. At the I/O 2015 conference, Google announced the arrival of a platform for sharing virtual reality content in 3D, and the company GoPro will be of great help to it.
At its recent I/O conference, Google revealed a bunch of interesting innovations with which it wants to push the boundaries of technology. Their Advanced Technology and Projects (ATAP) department served us with new "James Bond" devices, among which we were particularly impressed by the Soli project. As part of the project, a device is created, but it is not a smart device. This is you. It is a special sensor that recognizes and applies the user's gestures.
The visionary and futurist Ray Kurzweil, who was hired by Google several years ago, often bombards us with provocative but often accurate predictions, such as that a computer will beat a human at chess (it already happened) and that we will be surrounded by autonomous vehicles vehicles (already happening). It is also known for the theory of singularity, a concept that futurists like Kurzweil use to explain the development of the world from the point of view of technological development.
Google usually told us how to do something. Now it will do it for you. Some time ago, Google refined its famous browser with two small but important additions. Type "find my phone" and Google will locate it on a map and offer to call it. If you type "send directions" it will direct you to it. Google has come a long way in its 16-year search history, but this is actually just the beginning.
If you want to learn secrets from someone, there's no need for alcohol vapor to be involved anymore, just comb through their Google search history. This one, especially since it includes Google services like Gmail, Google+, Google Maps and YouTube, is pretty telling and not something you want your parents or potential partners to see. So it's a bit surprising that Google has offered the option to download your entire search history.
The search for the perfect Google Chrome extension/plugin is over. There is Smile Suggest, an add-on that, with the help of a web camera and facial recognition, can tell which website brings a smile to your face, and at the same time allows you to determine how wide the smile should be (on a scale of 1 to 10) so that it automatically add to bookmarks.
Lost your Android? Don't worry, Google will turn on its links and find the smartphone too. Namely, the browser now has the option to also watch out for your mobile device. And for that you don't need a special location, just Google's Android Device Manager service and then just type "find my phone" and Google will show you where it is on the map.
Google surprised like a bolt out of the blue with the Chromebit mini computer system, which is "published" as a USB stick and with the ability to turn any screen into a Chromebook. Although miniature in size, they managed to cram all the necessary electronics into the equivalent of a Chromebook, which the Chrome OS mobile operating system needs to function. It will serve as a platform, i.e. it will be available to other manufacturers, as is already the practice with Chromebooks.
For April 1st, Google has taken Google Maps and turned it into a Pack-Man arcade game. The streets have thus turned into a labyrinth, and the game of our youth can be played on our doorstep (the advantage of the "home playground") or in a location of our own choice. Blinky, Pinky, Inky and Clyde can also be avoided on the Champs-Élysées or in Times Square, and everything is accompanied by the famous musical background.
The Google Earth service allows us to fly anywhere on Earth. But that doesn't mean we can see everything. In the extensive collection of satellite images, for one reason or another, there are gray spots, places that Google refuses to show us. That's why he censors her one way or another. Check which ones.
Google's second-generation Chromebook Pixel is identical to the original from 2013, and it also remains a standout among Chromebooks, which are considered relatively cheap laptops (prices hover around 250 euros), as it comes with a hefty price tag ( around 940 euros). As a "unit", it will convince developers and computer connoisseurs in particular. But the similarities end there, as the Chromebook Pixel 2 takes a step forward everywhere else compared to its predecessor.
YouTube now has a mobile app for children called YouTube Kids. It is a "program" intended exclusively for the youngest, free of adult content and content unsuitable for children. Under one roof, only what is family or children's colored is collected - it can be shows, music videos or educational content. As of Monday, February 23, 2015, the app is already available to American children.
