the Mobile home column and virtual reality — how it all connected and here artificial intelligence: all the details of the first of its kind press conference by Google in the program Вести.net.
on the Evening of 4 October, the first in the history of American search engine presentation #MadeByGoogle — announcement, which described how ardorny, that is devoted exclusively to devices? created by the company. Indeed, Google has introduced a smartphone Pixel. Again showed on the scene, but did not touch the Google Home — symbiosis microphone, speaker and Wi-Fi-router design vases — was already presented to the public at the may conference Google IO and announced the same, but finally reached the serial production of the VR-set (mask for a telephone line, the same Pixel) and the joystick pointer to it. But actually decorated the whole announcement was thus: devices devices, but we are talking about the new Google strategy. And it does not manufacture its own equipment. This, in fact, devoted his keynote speech, Google CEO Sundar Pichai.
“With the advent of the smartphone we got a mobile revolution. She brought computing system in life, probably half of the population. And it’s seriously changed. But the movement has not stopped. And it is obvious that we are now moving from the principle of “based on mobile” to the principle of “based on artificial intelligence”, — said the head of Google.
And like, it turns out that the desire of Google to make their own devices — that other, as attempt to check at the initial stage of the point of contact with artificial intelligence (portable – smartphone, or home, there is already meant Google Home). Except, perhaps, the VR – Google sees here the beginning of a new market that can be monetized, it’s not to machine intelligence. But phone Pixel announced just as the first camera with a built-in assistant Google, anything on the press conference, and in the area of exploring the apparatus was given the most attention. But artificial intelligence is seemingly tomorrow as the telephone is today.
In one way or another Apple commemorated the presentation of time — and a couple of jokes available to the Pixel, but is absent on the iPhone 7 input for the audio plug, and a special program to migrate to Android, but the main thing is, of course, the comparison of cameras, which was done by a certain company and it seems to be a camera, “Pixel” was the best.
a Full test did not work — send photos from camera not allowed, but in the light Pixel and the truth takes at least as good if not better than the iPhone 7 Plus. But in low light conditions it gives a very bright, unnatural picture, which I for one did not like.
What else should be surprised about the Pixel? Fast charging: 15 minutes promise phone charge for 7 hours, unlimited free cloud storage to store photos in full resolution and videos that pixel can shoot in 4K, blue, which, by the way, in the test zone was not, and also epplovskih premium price. And the fact that it is the first phone Google VR-specifications Daydream. So named at the spring conference an attempt by the search engine to do an improved mobile version of virtual reality.
Now, six months later, in addition to the first ready to Daydream phone on the market is also ridiculous, as if a felt mask for a smartphone, where by the way, you can hide the pointer-joystick. Looks comedic, but quite comfortable. I tried to use the kit and although the resolution is virtual, but reality the phone still leaves something to be desired, the feeling of immersion is very impressive and even more impressive the work of such a simple joystick: awkward VR world becomes with them a simple, understandable and utilitarian. You can imagine that in the very near future movie and TV series will be quite a solid profitable article virtual reality.
Go to the third announcement of the home column, the microphone and at the same time the router Google Home, which is actually the physical embodiment of Google, assistant at home. This “vase” must simultaneously work as a voice remote control for home appliances or even smart homes, but also be the entry point for search — the same voice, plus remember the context of the search or control; what services you use, what you love, where are you going and so on. The account of this context in Google is considered an indispensable part of the machine mind. And given the fact that the device costs just $ 129, you can imagine that the main competitor of Amazon Echo is Google will move.
But Google obviously fighting not only and not so much with Amazon. Because it was announced that Google Home opens up API for third-party services and applications to, for example, Uber has connected to the system and to process verbal commands call a taxi, and Netflix — enable these programs. But the main thing — available development kit that Google Assistant can be put anywhere — in the car, drone or a vending machine. And then Google as a company will become immortal, and the word “Google” will lose its value.
