MOUNTAIN VIEW – Google wants to talk about its future annual developer conference. of Google will begin on Wednesday, May 18, and the company wants to reveal new features of its products and services, as well as occasional surprise.
Unlike the most recent conference for enterprise developers, google I / O 2016 will be held at Shoreline Amphitheatre in Mountain View, California, rather than at a convention center in San Francisco – so it will be right in the city where the headquarters of the company
Google has not disclosed in detail what present during his conference for developers, but its agenda, coupled with some rumors, give a glimpse of some of the developments we might expect.
Android N (possibly Android 7.0)
Although Google introduced the next version of its mobile operating system, Android N, in early March to present some of its new products, it is likely that the company reveals more details of what would integrate version end, and even could give it an official name to N or even an exact release date (far Google has said it will launch in the third quarter).
Android VR (virtual reality)
This would be a new platform focused on virtual reality and would be based on Android.
Android VR appeared on the web platform for developers Google Play a few days ago and there is rumors that Google could present a virtual reality glasses similar to the Samsung Gear VR. The glasses would be more advanced than the Samsung, although they would have less quality than the HTC lives and Oculus Rift.
It is also expected that Google will show developers how they can create apps, games and experiences for this new platform for virtual reality.
Chrome OS gets access to Google Play
better late than never. Although Google will not want to admit, Chrome OS and Android are being integrated, and may even become a single operating system.
Chrome OS can now run some Android apps, but rumors have suggested that Google could enable all the Play Store for computers with Chrome OS can start to run all apps that store, or at least all that would be compatible.
This is very important because it extends enormously programs or apps available for this platform and encourages developers to take more account devices with large screens when developing their apps.
this does not mean that Chrome OS and Android will be merged completely in a short time but it is a clear step in that direction. However, Google has said on a couple of occasions that the company remains “very committed” to Chrome OS and Chromebooks will be part of their future.
New Project Tango
Lenovo and Google announced that this summer will launch the first cell of Tango Project.
Tango technology allows to map the 3D world. Users, for example, can know how a refrigerator look at home before buying it, or could redesign apartments virtually.
There are no many apps available that will take out full advantage of this, but Google may reveal new features to attract developers to create apps that are to benefit from this technology and thus show features that also captivate the attention of people.
There is a possibility that Project Tango finish connecting in one way or another with the virtual reality that Google would announce Android VR.
new on autos
Google may also present new Android Auto, but what would the greater attention to this sector are autonomous cars of the company.
Although Google has gradually revealed some new Android Auto, have already been two years since its initial filing and the company has not revealed big news in recent months. This might be a good opportunity to hear from the Android version car or at least what could be the next big step of this platform.
On the other hand, it is unclear what Google could present their autonomous cars relative. But the wide and open place where the event will take place can be a sign that the company is ready to show new features in this program, are new only associations such as those recently announced with Chrysler to bring these autonomous cars to availability consumer.
smart home, Internet of Things, Brightness and Weave
last year Google introduced Brightness and Weave to allow devices to the Internet of Things, and thus the smart home, they can connect with each other in a simple way.
this time, Google could present progress of this platform Internet of Things and may even introduce some new device or associated companies.
also, various rumors have suggested that Google would be working on a similar Amazon Echo device to take your virtual assistant to a device for the home that recognize different voice commands and can serve as a point of control household devices.
Although it is unlikely that Google launched this device I / O 2016, it is possible that the company reveal improvements in speech recognition, device control, voice and other functions.
bots in chats
Microsoft and Facebook revealed new integrations of bots their platforms chat, Skype and Messenger, respectively.
it is not strange to think that Google could present something similar and rumors have suggested that the company has been working on a new messaging app.
However, some rumors have pointed more to be a group messaging app or an app that would work similar to WhatsApp way. All these rumors could be related and would simply be an update to Google Hangouts or a new app that only provide these new features.
Best apps for Android
Google announced a few weeks ago the nominated for the best apps for Android in different categories, which will be crowned at the first awards event Google Play Awards at the developer conference of the company, I / O 2016, on May 19.
other new
the company may also introduce some new features of Android Wear and even a new version of Chrome OS.
could also expect some news from Project Ara, which we heard little in recent months, but in early 2015 generated great interest to develop the idea of creating a cell with a modular design, something much more modular than offered by the LG G5.
Google could also reveal some news from Google Photos and YouTube, among others.
Finally, Google could surprise with news of Project Wing (drones delivery) or other kinds of drones .
