The company also laid out plans to improve its Chrome OS line of computers, announcing at its Google I/O developer conference that Android apps will be coming to the platform. Likewise, support will be included in all new Nexus Players. With a core set of specs and ideas around how all the components should work together, Daydream will be a stepping-off point for virtual reality on a larger scale than anything we've seen before.

The news was shared by Google CEO Sundar Pichai. Presumably, smartwatches will only get smaller over time, making me wonder how long a life these messaging features will have. On stage, Google demonstrated how its artificial intelligence and Google bot cannot only respond to natural language requests, but also participate in ongoing dialogues with multipart questions and answers.

Daydream represents Google's head-first tumble into the world of virtual reality. The device does several things - first, it responds to your voice commands to do everything from Google Searches to telling you what's on your calendar. Let's put it this way - Amazon has done really well with its Echo, but Amazon knows just a tiny bit about us.

"Every single conversation is different, every single context is different, and we're working very hard to do this for billions of conversations, for billions of users", Pichai said. It brings a huge depth of knowledge. It was announced at the show, but it won't be available to the general public until later this year. "Google has also done a fantastic job building out a compelling management console that makes these devices easy to deploy and manage in a school setting". That means you can easily go from chatting with friends to asking GA what time your flight is or if a restaurant is open on Sundays. HTC now delivers its camera app, lock-screen manager and other features as separate apps.

I am the guy you want to complain to. Available later this summer for iOS and Android.

Google was sure to remind us that apps are so important. But the neat thing is that it will work on both Android and iPhones so you can keep in touch with ALL of your friends face to face. That means, you should be able to watch a YouTube video while also browsing Twitter, or perhaps check email while watching a movie through Google Play. But if Google has its way, you won't have to.

The short version of Google's (for the sake of convenience I will keep calling it that rather than Alphabet, as the holding company is now known) vision appears to be as follows. But it's more likely you heard about them when Apple made such a big deal about complications with the Apple Watch. The letters you write scroll past as if on a conveyor belt, and the watch did a surprisingly good job of interpreting them correctly.
