Google I/O 2014 in under nine minutes

2014-06-25
I use when we talk about our two large computing platforms Android and Chrome we are very excited as of this year's i/o we are over 1 billion 30-day active users they take around 93 million selfies every day the team tells me about 31 million of these are duck faces user experiences are evolving rapidly and we wanted to rethink the user design experience on Android to have a fresh bold and new look Android Chrome and across all of Google to craft one consistent vision for mobile desktop and Beyond and this led us to a way of thinking that we call material design those scenes and shadows provide meaning about what you can touch and how it will move and we've also updated our system font Roboto so that designers and developers can use one typeface designed and optimized for every screen from your watch to your laptop to your television so another area where we've improved the user experience on al is errata notifications I can double tap on a notification to launch the corresponding app or if there's something I don't need I can just dismiss with a single swipe and unlock the phone well this is just a notification shade so you just swipe it away and you're straight into the device so from here I can keep going or if I want to act on it I can answer it or if I'm busy swipe it away and what you're about to see is epic Unreal Engine 4 desktop rendering pipeline running on android l on the latest Nvidia tablet hardware it was a little flicker here and we've worked hard to make sure that the battery keeps up with the performance so battery saver allows you to clock down CPU the refresh rate even turn off background data to conserve battery so battery saver is really great if you're about to embark on a lifelong hike or maybe along the protest and to say you with the battery to last even longer both with elder leaves and chrome we are bringing a whole set of new experiences to many connected screens around you we're right at the beginning in a new phase in the miniaturization of technology which means that it's finally possible to make a powerful computer small enough to wear comfortably on your body all day long here's a live demo on the LG G watch you can see that it hasn't always on display that at any given time Suz you the most important thing we know for you swiping up and down navigates you through this stream of cards which includes information from google no apps running on Jeff's phone and apps running directly on the wearable itself you can see that there's a broad selection of analog and digital designs in a variety of styles to suit your tastes when you swipe away a notification on the watch it disappears from the phone and when Jeff receives a phone call you can either swipe to reject the call from his wrist or swipe up to choose from one of these quick SMS replies now you'll see that Jeff has music controls on his watch you can see what song is playing he can pause the music or skip to the next track Jeff can see how many steps he's taken today along with a step hunt history for the week on devices that supported he can even check his heart rate after a job Pinterest can notify him but he's near one of Suzy's pinned restaurants allowing him to quickly glance at the details then swipe to see a map and if he likes it he can start navigation right from his wrist today we're making a full Android wear SDK available it enables you to write code that runs directly on the wearable itself and here I'm presented with a beautiful interface that lets me confirm the kind of food I'd like today let's stick with pizza and then I can quickly swipe to see and repeat my last order just one more tap to pay and the piece is on its way when a watch is connected the wearable portion of the app is automatically installed and kept up to date on that watch the LGG watch will be available to order later today on the Play Store we're very happy that Samsung is joining the Android wear family with the Samsung
