Google I/O 2016

Lots of Project Tango + AR&#x2F;VR presentations. I&#x27;m willing to bet the next Google&#x2F;Nexus phones will have tech from Project Tango built in and become standard on future Android phones. Lots of apps&#x2F;games could be built for it (and some that have been already built will debut during I&#x2F;O). It could be one of those things that differentiates Androids from iPhones. Take a look at the &#x27;Introducing Project Tango Area Learning&#x27; talk for May 18 for an example.<p>More info on Project Tango - <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.google.com&#x2F;atap&#x2F;project-tango&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.google.com&#x2F;atap&#x2F;project-tango&#x2F;</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&#x2F;maybe replacing the current Cloud-Endpoints feature (which is unfortunate, because I use it extensively).

Hope we hear more from ATAP. They had some really interesting projects last year I&#x27;m hoping make it further towards market.

It doesn&#x27;t look like they&#x27;re really talking about anything new this year. A little bit about android auto but as far as I can tell, that&#x27;s it.

I found a bug in Safari os x: don&#x27;t be logged in, go to the schedule, expand one of the topics, click the plus sign and you&#x27;ll get a message that says something like &quot;log in to save&quot; in the lower left. Now you can no longer click the window shade to close the popup, you have to click the &#x27;Full Schedule&quot; link.<p>I&#x27;m in love with the 2d&#x2F;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&#x27;m going to be able to download the version of Android which was announced at last year&#x27;s Google I&#x2F;O before they announce another one this year?<p>Don&#x27;t ever change, Google.

They are having it outside at Shoreline? oh boy.

Is the entire event going to be outside? Or are they going to use a tent in the vast parking lot space like they do for festivals?

Umm .. how do you get a ticket?

I can&#x27;t find ARA in the schedule :(

huh?

Hasn&#x27;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.
