developer conference Google I / O 2015 will take place from 28 to 29 May.
The annual event allows the company to share news of their ecosystems and platform developers. The most attractive event usually happens during the first day, when the company takes the time to introduce new products, services and projects, as well as updates to what we already know.
The conference this year will be no exception. Google already revealed the possibility that Android M, the next version of the operating system of Google, would be presented during this conference to mention it directly on the agenda of the event.
Although it is possible that Android M is the major attraction the event, Google generally has a lot of firsts to present and rumors agenda and give us a glimpse of what it can be. Given this, collect a list of innovations that we expect to see in Google I / O this year.
Android M
All the buzz and excitement of Android M began with the publication of the agenda of Google I / O 2015. The company said the “Update Android for Work” session to the successor Lollipop Android version, but Google removed it soon after.
Since there are sessions Google related material and design due to the great change that took Android with version 5.0, Android is very possible that M does not bring great changes but performance enhancements, user experience and new features.
Another session related to “Notifications, interruptions and volume” Android is on the agenda of Google I / O 2015. Although the description does not give great detail, expect Google to improve the synchronization of notifications between Android devices and offers some more advanced settings interruptions and volume.
On the other hand, another session called “Your app, now without hand” mentions that the new “Voice Access” function will provide access to Android devices by voice. You may Android M Voice Access enable access to more apps depth control individually. This could have hundreds or thousands of voice commands in the future so that our voice control not only of Google services and apps, but all kinds of apps.
The session is a “personalized smart Authentication Smart Lock “will bring improvements to the authentication system that allows us to use patterns and passwords like faces and smart watches (or Bluetooth devices). This session could explain a little one of the most recent rumors indicating that Android M bring native support for fingerprint readers. This would allow Google also release an application programming interface (API, in English) in the future for developers to integrate into their apps features that take advantage the fingerprint reader on Android devices.
In addition, we expect improvements in performance, battery life and improved rendering apps.
Probably, Google will present the new version of its Android operating system as M in the fall reveal the official name with the release of the operating system. How could it be called? Some possibilities would be Android Meringue Pie, M & M, Milky Way or Marshmallow, although we do not know for sure. We do not know if I would call Google Android 5.5 or Android 6.0.
Android @ Home (Brightness)
One of the latest rumors indicating that Google would present during I / O 2015 a new version of Android that would focus on automation and Internet of Things – even with a construction Basic that allows you to connect devices to each other and the Internet.
Now known as Brightness, the platform would be the successor of Android @ Home (home automation platform presented at Google I / O 2011) that would focus on connections low energy to work with devices that have only 32GB or 64GB of RAM.
In addition, we expected that Google return to Internet of Things after the disappearance of Android @ Home, as the trend of the industry suggest that, like the acquisition of Nest in January 2014 by Google
Brightness be part of Android, integration with other enterprise platforms -. including Android cell M and tablets, Android TV, Android android auto and Wear – would be relatively simple and could feed more functions to the entire Android ecosystem
Smart Watches and technology dress
Google Fit. an important part of smart technology watches and clothing. At Google I / O 2015, Google will have several sessions dedicated to teach developers to take advantage of the information you can get in this class of devices with Google Fit, how to generate it and how to create apps that may be useful for users .
In addition, Google has a meeting of its ATAP division where the company would plan to provide a device of clothing “surprise us”. The company did not elaborate, but sure we will see a new device dress or wearable.
In addition, after the launch of the first Android smart watches in the conference Wear Last year, we would expect the company to present to a clock’s Android Wear.
Virtual reality and augmented reality
Virtual reality and augmented reality are one of the industry categories they are generating more interest. The first virtual reality glasses Oculus (now owned by Facebook) will go on presale this year and available in 2016. For its part, Sony may launch its virtual reality goggles Project Morpheus in the first half of 2016, the Live HTC arrive later this year and augmented reality glasses of Microsoft, HoloLens have shown interesting things, but the company has not revealed many details or a release date.
Google is also committed to him Google Cardboard virtual reality and augmented reality with Project Tango devices.
There is a sign that invites to experiment and how to design virtual reality experience, where the designer of virtual reality video game Katie Goode share their experiences . It is possible that Google present a new version of the simple box called Google Cardboard which provides a better experience for video games.
Also, rumors have suggested that Google has been working on a new version of Google Glass, no It would be a bad time to introduce the new version after Tony Fadell, founder of Nest took the reins earlier this year.
Live satellite images (Skybox)
It would be logical to expect the session “Earth in real time” is related to provide live satellite images of Earth, especially when the description mentions Google Maps and Google Earth. Moreover, the description indicates that Skybox company is taking the next step of the satellite imagery.
Skybox was a company mainly engaged in the development of satellites that capture images of the Earth in high resolution that Google acquired in June 2014 for US $ 500 million. Google said the acquisition was intended to improve Internet access and attention to disasters. Details of the technology would relieve Skybox on Google for Google I / O.
Video games on multiple screens Chromecast
A session called “Designing Google Cast video games” address the design ” television and mobile experiences across multiple screens “as the” adoption of existing design patterns for interactive game format multiple screens. ” In addition, another session is the ability to use iOS and Android devices as joysticks that can interact with Chromecast and other compatible devices Cast.
Android TV, Android Auto and more
Android Google TV and Android revealed Car for Google I / O last year. We hope that Google has some news about these versions of Android and how they could better integrate with the new version Android M. also hope to learn more news from other Google products.
