Re: Google I/O 2014
This is whats going on so far:
Google unveiled a new version of its Android operating system Wednesday, telling developers at its annual Google I/O conference in San Francisco that the platform for smartphones and tablets would have a “fresh and bold new look.”
The “L” version will include new set of shadowed visuals and typography. More than 1 billion people use an Android-powered device each month, Sundar Pichai, the company’s senior vice president for Android, Chrome and apps, said Wednesday. He boasted that the users take 93 million “selfie” photos each day.
The announcement was the first of several expected Wednesday morning about the company’s ever-expanding portfolio of gadgets and services.

Re: Google I/O 2014
Televisions, smartwatches, cars, smartphones and tablets — Google showcased new versions of its Android operating system for all of the gadgets Wednesday.
In urging computer programmers at its Google I/O conference to develop apps for the systems, Google unveiled new design elements and more powerful software to power the apps.
Google said smartphones would be at the center of its connected-devices universe. Smartphones could control streaming video and game apps that would display on televisions through Android TV. Sony and Sharp televisions and streaming boxes (similar to Roku or Apple TV) built by several manufacturers will include Android TV in the coming months.
The TV-focused operating system follows up on Google’s successful Chromecast stick, which can be plugged into an HDMI port on a television to stream videos, music and websites. Google said it wasn’t abandoning Chromecast, announcing a feature Wednesday that allows devices to control Chromecast though a cellphone connection in addition to Wi-Fi. An update to Chromecast will allow a broader range of apps to be displayed on televisions.

The cardboard app comes with 7 “experiences”, and each is pretty darned neat in its own right:
Youtube lets you watch a selection of Youtube videos on a simulated theater screen. Probably my favorite of all the apps
Street Vue lets you wander around in a VR version of, you guessed it, street view
“Exhibit” lets you look at a few 3D recreations of objects. Not the most exciting of the lot.
Earth Flyover lets you zoom around a city in Google Earth. Push the “button” to start flying forward, push it again to stop.
Photo Sphere Viewer lets you look around in pictures you’ve taken using Android’s built-in 360º panoramic feature
Windy Day is a cute, cartoony environment where you can watch animals sneak around as leaves fall
Tour Guide has you explore the Palace of Versailles
