![]() ![]() You can get into this immersive view straight from Maps on your phone, and you can pan around the sights… here’s Westminster Abbey. Say you’re planning to visit Westminster with your family. These breakthrough technologies are coming together to power a new experience in Maps called immersive view: it allows you to explore a place like never before. Using advances in 3D mapping and machine learning, we’re fusing billions of aerial and street level images to create a new, high-fidelity representation of a place. We’re also bringing new capabilities into Maps. Over the last year, people used Google Search and Maps to find where they could get a COVID vaccine nearly two billion times. Throughout the pandemic, Google has focused on delivering accurate information to help people stay healthy. Today, you'll see how progress on these two parts of our mission ensures Google products are built to help. I'm excited to show you how we’re driving that mission forward in two key ways: by deepening our understanding of information so that we can turn it into knowledge and advancing the state of computing, so that knowledge is easier to access, no matter who or where you are. ![]() All this work is in service of our timeless mission: to organize the world's information and make it universally accessible and useful. Last year, we shared how new breakthroughs in some of the most technically challenging areas of computer science are making Google products more helpful in the moments that matter. ![]() And to the millions more joining us around the world - we’re so happy you’re here, too. To the thousands of developers, partners and Googlers here with us, it’s great to see all of you. Actually, let’s make that welcome back! It’s great to return to Shoreline Amphitheatre after three years away. We are grateful for the opportunity.Įditor’s note: Below is an edited transcript of Sundar Pichai's keynote address during the opening of today's Google I/O Developers Conference. Thank you to everyone who helps us do this work, and most especially our Googlers. It’s exciting to build these products it’s even more exciting to see what people do with them. Today, I talked about how we’re advancing two fundamental aspects of our mission - knowledge and computing - to create products that are built to help. And once a year - on my favorite day of the year :) - we share an update on how it’s going at Google I/O. The progress we've made is because of our years of investment in advanced technologies, from AI to the technical infrastructure that powers it all. In the decades since, we’ve been developing our technology to deliver on that mission. Cardboard V2 will also work with iOS - making it yet another step for Google bringing virtual reality to the masses.Nearly 24 years ago, Google started with two graduate students, one product, and a big mission: to organize the world’s information and make it universally accessible and useful. Unveiled today, Google Expeditions takes students on virtual field trips to enhance their learning. How about a field trip to the moon? Last year Google showed how it used cardboard and a smartphone to create a virtual reality experience. The app will also make it incredibly easy to share multiple photos with friends across social media and via an easy link that can give someone access to a specific set of photos. The app works by auto-grouping photos, letting users easily search for a specific memory such as "beach birthday party" or "Michelle's wedding." There's no need to create groups or albums. Working across all of a user's devices, photos is a place where memories can be easily accessed. Google wants to organize your photos and videos with its new photos application. Working with built-in fingerprint support in Android M, users will be able to use Near Field Communication readers in their phones to pay at certain retailers. Android M will be available as a pre-release version today with a wider release slated for later this year, bringing with it performance enhancements including an easier way to find information in apps and updates to Google Now, the Android virtual personal assistant.Īnother welcome feature is an apps permissions system allowing users to approve or deny security settings for an app on a case-by-case experience.Īndroid Pay, Google's newest answer to the mobile wallet, was also announced today. ![]()
