Lots of Project Tango + AR/VR presentations. I'm willing to bet the next Google/Nexus phones will have tech from Project Tango built in and become standard on future Android phones. Lots of apps/games could be built for it (and some that have been already built will debut during I/O). It could be one of those things that differentiates Androids from iPhones. Take a look at the 'Introducing Project Tango Area Learning' talk for May 18 for an example.<p>More info on Project Tango - <a href="https://www.google.com/atap/project-tango/" rel="nofollow">https://www.google.com/atap/project-tango/</a>
Cool: Talks about NDK, ART, and maybe just maybe, they will fix audio latency.<p>Not so cool: Game keynotes seem to keep spreading Play Services PR instead of talking about making games, available frameworks and tooling, like on Apple and Microsoft conferences.
Lots of Firebase - wild guess, but I assume Firebase support will be integrated in Android Studio extending/maybe replacing the current Cloud-Endpoints feature (which is unfortunate, because I use it extensively).
It doesn't look like they're really talking about anything new this year. A little bit about android auto but as far as I can tell, that's it.
I found a bug in Safari os x: don't be logged in, go to the schedule, expand one of the topics, click the plus sign and you'll get a message that says something like "log in to save" in the lower left. Now you can no longer click the window shade to close the popup, you have to click the 'Full Schedule" link.<p>I'm in love with the 2d/3d font and the way it animates both in the color cycling and number changing into one another. Its one of those things that I wish I would had thought of doing (knew how to do)
I wonder if I'm going to be able to download the version of Android which was announced at last year's Google I/O before they announce another one this year?<p>Don't ever change, Google.
Hasn't this been announced for a while? Is there a reason this got submitted? Did the schedule just get released or something? Title should probably clarify.
