TIMOTHY JORDAN: So here we are on Main Street.
It's pretty much the main thoroughfare
at Google I/O 2017.
I figured let's take a stroll and see what's going on,
want to come with me?
OK.
Hi, everybody.
Enjoying the festival?
OK.
Good.
So apparently, this is an AR, augmented reality,
for those paying attention.
Well, I haven't figured out how to do it just yet, though.
Maybe it's over this way.
Just one of the many things you could do here
in between the sessions.
I believe this is dancing, right?
So let's go over here.
So one of the coolest things that I found here
on Main Street is the opportunity
to send a postcard out to anybody.
I'm choosing to send it to future Timothy.
Shall we write me a few notes?
OK.
Hi.
I'm going to join you all here and write a postcard.
Well, who did you write to?
SPEAKER 1: I'm writing back home to Georgia, the country,
quite far, so let's see how long it takes to get there.
TIMOTHY JORDAN: We'll find out.
I'm sending mine to future Timothy.
SPEAKER 1: Wow, can I do that?
But not future Timothy, but future Nina.
Can I send it to myself?
TIMOTHY JORDAN: Yes, let's both do it here.
I'm just going to write mine over here
SPEAKER 1: But I don't know where
I will be living at the time?
TIMOTHY JORDAN: What was that?
SPEAKER 1: I don't know were you living at that time.
TIMOTHY JORDAN: Well, if you send the postcard now, future
you is any time after now.
So you're good.
SPEAKER 1: OK. so the address is future.
TIMOTHY JORDAN: Yes.
Let's see, you had a great time at I/O, smiley face.
Are you still writing the address there?
SPEAKER 1: Yes.
It's pretty long.
I'll get there.
TIMOTHY JORDAN: Are all the addresses in Georgia long?
SPEAKER 1: No, not really, OK.
So, but you had the yours written, so that was cheating.
TIMOTHY JORDAN: Yes.
SPEAKER 1: OK.
OK.
Hey.
TIMOTHY JORDAN: It's OK.
We'll wait.
SPEAKER 1: I have you are doing well.
Take care.
I'm so nice to myself.
Take care, and good luck with your startup.
I have a start up.
OK.
Great, so--
TIMOTHY JORDAN: I think we've got to mail them.
SPEAKER 1: All right.
There was more, more of these guys.
Next time?
TIMOTHY JORDAN: OK.
SPEAKER 1: OK.
Here it goes.
TIMOTHY JORDAN: Bye.
SPEAKER 1: Thank you.
TIMOTHY JORDAN: See you.
SPEAKER 1: See you in the future.
TIMOTHY JORDAN: OK.
All right.
Let's check out what this wall is all about.
SPEAKER 2: How's it going?
TIMOTHY JORDAN: It's going well.
How are you?
SPEAKER 2: I'm great, thanks.
I'm having a great time here.
TIMOTHY JORDAN: It's a developer festival.
How could you not have a good time?
SPEAKER 2: I have no idea honestly.
It's beautiful out.
It's an awesome time.
TIMOTHY JORDAN: So tell me what's going on with this wall.
It's more than just a wall, right?
SPEAKER 2: It is more than just the wall.
So this is actually going to be an AR mural.
So as you can see there's a lot of little icons
and things on the screen.
If I actually put up my tablet here,
you can see that there's actually
going be floating overlays.
So this AR, is being generated, because of these triggers
within the actual mural itself.
So there's a couple of different icons and different animations
here.
So here you can see there's going to be the Google I/O
icon spinning.
And so what we've been doing today,
is just taking little short, five second GIFs for people,
and then, being able to send them
to them so they have that kind of a memento of today.
TIMOTHY JORDAN: Awesome.
I love it.
SPEAKER 2: Do you want to do one?
TIMOTHY JORDAN: I do, but can you send me a gift, not a GIF?
SPEAKER 2: I don't know about that.
TIMOTHY JORDAN: Whatever.
SPEAKER 2: OK.
[MUSIC PLAYING]
There you go.
It's going to generate a little preview.
So there you are jumping around in the background.
What do you think?
TIMOTHY JORDAN: That's very cool.
It's got the heel click and everything.
SPEAKER 2: Exactly.
Awesome.
TIMOTHY JORDAN: Thank you so much.
SPEAKER 2: You're very welcome.
Of course.
TIMOTHY JORDAN: All right.
Let's go somewhere else.
