Google’s new hardware invaded the software and service-focused Google I/O [VIDEO]
Summary
They generally save that stuff for their fall hardware events and, headed into this week, I felt like the excitement that always builds in the ramp-up to I/O would lead to the same let downs we normally feel. Between updates to Search, Maps, Workspace, Assistant, Android, ChromeOS and YouTube, there was plenty being discussed on the software side of things. Maybe they didn’t have quite enough hardware in the past or their vision wasn’t clear enough, but whatever has shifted, it has set a new precedent for Google I/O moving forward. With even cheap earbuds handling this with ease, I have little doubt Google can fix this issue from their older Pixel Buds, but I’m not getting the cart before the horse on this one. While AR will absolutely be capable of all sorts of things in the future, the demo Google went with used real time translation, allowing the person behind the glasses to see language translated in real time in a heads-up display as the other person was talking: letting people who have had issues communicating with loved ones speak back and forth with ease.
