Android PAY
Google says in its keynote that it will expand Android Pay by partnering with mobile providers to pre-install the feature on new devices. Partners include T-Mobile, Verizon and AT&T. To authenticate payments, you can use your fingerprint to verify your identity.
Android WEAR
Some new Android Wear updates will include an “Always On” feature to keep apps on the screen so information is always glanceable in a low power black and white mode. Users no longer need to tap the screen to wake up the app.
New wrist gestures, such as flicking up and down to scroll, is added to help in case your hands are full. You can also draw emojis on an Android Wear watch now as well… if you’re feeling adventurous with your artistic skills.
At this time, Google says there are approximately 4,000 apps designed for Android Wear.
Internet of Things
Google is fully using its Nest acquisition to step into the Internet of Things market by announcing Project Brillo, its own operating system for IoT devices. Brillo is derived from Android to provide low power, wireless solution that can be easily scalable to all types of Android devices.
It’s also using its own language named Weave to communicate between the Brillo OS, a device and the cloud. Weave is available cross-platform.
Brillo will launch in developer preview in Quarter 3; Weave will come out in Q4.
Google Now’s “Now on Tap”
To make your smartphone more “smart,” Google says it is working to make Google Now even more contextual by learning your behaviors, habits and lifestyle. To assist you in your daily life, Google Now wants to provide proactive answers – such as estimating how long ride lines are when you arrive to Disneyland or where you parked your car.
To do so, Google Now teased a “Now on Tap” feature that will gain context based on what you’re looking at on your screen. For example, if Google Now knows you are traveling to San Francisco, it can provide your boarding pass upon your arrival to the airport, give you an option to order an Uber when you’ve landed or give you an option to order groceries when you’re en route.
In another example, you can listen to Skrillex on Google Music and pause to ask Google “What is his real name,” and it will know you mean to ask about the artist you’re currently listening to.
The final demo includes a text on Viber that mentions dinner at a restaurant, and Google Now opening OpenTable with the page of said restaurant open and ready for reservation. You can also ask to see what a menu item looks like in case you’re curious, and Google Now will know what dish you’re referring to based on what’s on your OpenTable screen.
Google Photos
We all take way too many photos, says Google, so its solution is Google Photos. The app will help back up your photos (unlimited and free!) and allow you to browse photos across a timeline. Additionally, it can also sort your photos based on People and Places without needing the user to add tags.
Finally, you can use Google Photos to make videos and collages based on suggestions the app gives according to location and date. It can also auto-create a movie based on recent content as well (of course, you can edit the content before you share).
A neat little gesture feature: You can also tap and drag to highlight photos you want to share instead of selecting each image one by one.
Google Photos is available today on Android, iOS and Web.
