Google I/O

A few years ago, Google showed off its Project Starline tech that would make you look like a 3D hologram on a video call for a more connected experience. It's now called Google Beam, and you can pick up the gear from HP for the princely sum of US$25,000.

For the last few years, Google has been developing 3D video technology that would allow distant colleagues to chat as though they were in the same room. Now the tech giant has rebranded Project Starline to Google Beam to prepare for commercial rollout.

The world's most popular search engine, serving 8.5 billion requests every day, is getting a complete overhaul, and the experience of looking for information online will never be the same.

Got a rash or spot to check out? Take a photo! Google Lens can now save you from wading through hundreds of images of skin conditions, letting you search for your own much more easily and delivering results for diagnosis and recommended treatment.

We've already had plenty of announcements from the Google I/O 2021 developer event happening this week, but Google has also been showing off a 3D video conferencing app that it's working on called Project Starline.

A few days ago, at Google's annual I/O developer conference, the search giant revealed a new AI system called Duplex. It can book appointments for you by carrying out natural conversations over the phone, but what happens when a company makes a computer system sound too human?

Google just opened its annual I/O developer conference for 2018, rolling out several big announcements during the opening keynote. We've got news on Android P, Google Maps, Google News, Google Assistant and more – here's what coming to Google's apps and services in the months ahead.

​The first new product of Google I/O 2017 is Google Lens, which combines image recognition, machine learning and Google’s vast preexisting platform to help you understand your surroundings. With Google Lens, you can point your phone at an object to automatically access more information about it.

Apple and Google have worked hard to get their feet in the car door with CarPlay and Android Auto, leveraging their smartphone expertise to create a better in-car experience. Now, Volvo and Audi​ have teamed up with Google to take things a step further and integrate Android into their next-gen cars.

Google has announced an updated version of its low-cost Cardboard headset, as well as a new feature designed to allow teachers to take their students on virtual field trips and a new project that allows users to create their own VR experiences.

Android 5.0 Lollipop is a beautiful upgrade for the mobile operating system, but we also scratched the surface to find some of its more hidden but still quite useful new features.

In addition to Android Lollipop, Google has introduced the first three devices to run the mobile operating system, the Nexus 6 phablet, Nexus 9 tablet and Nexus Player streaming media and gaming console.
