so we're here at Google i/o in San Francisco where Google just announced Android TV it's a big update to the long-standing Google TV platform it's basically part of their initiative to have Android everywhere and it starts off with a TV interface and a remote app on their phone which is the basic you know d-pad controls and along with that there's a new gamepad controller because Android is showing off lots of games in the TV so with this you can go across the dinner face at the top it has suggestions for content that you may want to watch or view from Google Play TV YouTube Travel Channel other options like that and if you move down you can see all the apps that have installed you can use the Google Play Store to add more but it has your typical options like Netflix YouTube Showtime as well as other things like 24 which they showed off on stage and there's a special link for Google Play games the games are broken out into a separate category down here you can see all the games installed the TV and jump into the most recently play games here the TV box itself that's running is a reference platform that Google built specifically to let developers start program with the Android TV and the controller is the same deal and that's basically it for Android TV all in all it seems like this is probably Google's best effort yet at building a TV interface that people will want to use and it seems like it might actually be a good way to you know bring casual gaming to the big screen in your living room as well certainly a better effort than Google TV we've seen thus far and given Google's success with chromecast over the last year this could be you know their next big thing you
