TIMOTHY JORDAN: Hi there.
I'm Timothy Jordan, a Developer Advocate here at Google.
And as you probably know, I like to do videos for developers,
helping to educate and inspire around our platforms
and services.
And I'm here with Marques Brownlee.
MARQUES BROWNLEE: That's funny.
I also make videos, so I think it would makes sense for us
to make a video at the same time.
TIMOTHY JORDAN: I don't see why not.
And in fact, let's start out in one of my favorite areas,
Android Wear.
So here we are in the Android Wear area--
really big watches, which is, I think, pretty cool,
and, of course, a normal size watch on my wrist.
Now, I want to show you one of the new apps
that we launched recently, which is Google Maps on Android Wear.
If I just tap on the watch, load up Google Maps,
you can see, well, the first thing
is that it's Maps on the watch, which is pretty cool.
But also, I can set it up so that the compass is
following me.
As I kind of turn my wrist around,
or I look different directions, the map goes with me.
Also I can zoom out.
I can zoom in.
I can look at local places.
And this is a key thing-- if it goes into ambient mode,
the map is still there on the watch.
And it's going to update once every minute.
So all I need to do is glance at my watch, whatever mode it's
in, and I know where I'm at.
MARQUES BROWNLEE: Very nice.
And I'll tell you what, that compass mode
is going to be really handy for me, because I have
a terrible sense of direction.
TIMOTHY JORDAN: It happens.
Oh, there's Clem.
Hey, Clem-- hey, how's it going?
This is Clem Wright.
He is a Product Manager on Android Wear,
and this is Marques.
He is awesome.
MARQUES BROWNLEE: All right, so I've
heard a little bit about an app called
VimoGolf on Android Wear.
I was hoping maybe you could show me how it works.
CLEM WRIGHT: Yeah, sure, so this uses
the accelerometer and gyroscope in the watch
to track your golf swing.
So go ahead and set up.
Get your stance right.
TIMOTHY JORDAN: This is great.
We know, Marques, that you're a little out of practice,
so don't worry about being perfect.
CLEM WRIGHT: Awesome, yeah, so, as you see,
we can watch your swing played back here on the phone.
TIMOTHY JORDAN: That is so cool.
You know, you're still in the swing of things.
MARQUES BROWNLEE: I told you I still had it.
TIMOTHY JORDAN: OK, so here we are in the Google Cast area.
And now, you know Google Cast is a great way
to control your media, such as your TV shows or your music
from your phone.
Well, now it's also a great way to play games.
And Marques is actually playing Driver Speedboat Paradise,
and he's about to beat my time.
Hey, Nathan, could you-- you really need to meet Nathan.
He's right here and-- oh, you-- that's too bad.
So Nathan here is a Product Manager on Google Cast.
Nathan, could you tell us a little
why this game looks so great on the television right now?
NATHAN CAMARILLO: Yeah, Google Cast Remote Display for games
allows game developers to harness all the great GPUs that
are in a phone and render great looking content
not only to the local device, but directly to the television.
It's available for developers now,
and it's really easy to use.
TIMOTHY JORDAN: Awesome.
Well, we should back to this game.
Is it my turn yet?
MARQUES BROWNLEE: I was just about to beat the record, too.
TIMOTHY JORDAN: Oh, that's right, OK.
Go for it again.
So here we are in the Android TV area,
and we're all playing on the NVIDIA Shield Android TV.
And of course, it's a racing game,
so Marques is kicking our butts.
MARQUES BROWNLEE: Yeah, it's a racing game.
I've got to be on top of my game.
But I'm curious, since this is a new NVIDIA Shield,
if we crack this thing open-- not that we would--
what would we find inside?
TIMOTHY JORDAN: Krispy?
KRISTAN KRISPY UCCELLO: Well, you'd
find some very excellent NVIDIA engineering.
They've brought their X1 processor to Android TV
and packaged it up in a form factor
that consumers are going to love.
It plays everything from AAA titles
all the way down to casual games.
And as the Play Store expands, the number of games available,
consumers are just going to love this thing.
TIMOTHY JORDAN: Awesome, well, I'm
going to get back in the game.
[CHEERING]
All right, Marques, here we are in the Android Auto area,
and I promise you we're going to get in one of these cars,
so you can text your mom.
MARQUES BROWNLEE: That's exactly what I need right now.
TIMOTHY JORDAN: So it's looking pretty busy.
But I know these guys really well,
so it shouldn't be a problem.
MARQUES BROWNLEE: Let's do it.
TIMOTHY JORDAN: Hey, Andy.
ANDREW BRENNER: Hey, Timothy.
TIMOTHY JORDAN: The car's looking pretty good.
ANDREW BRENNER: Thanks.
TIMOTHY JORDAN: Hey, so I've got my buddy Marques here,
and I just wanted to give him a quick demo.
ANDREW BRENNER: Timothy, you know the last time we gave you
a car what happened.
TIMOTHY JORDAN: Woo, hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hooo.
ANDREW BRENNER: You can borrow the car.
But it has to stay here.
TIMOTHY JORDAN: OK.
ANDREW BRENNER: All right, here you go.
Remember what I said.
TIMOTHY JORDAN: I will.
Thanks, Andy.
So here we are at the home screen.
You can see we get Nav.
We can head to the airport.
We've got weather, recent calls.
MARQUES BROWNLEE: It looks like I also have a text from my mom?
CAR: Here's the message.
How's the conference?
MARQUES BROWNLEE: Reply-- it's going pretty well,
but I'm a little bit busy.
I'm driving Android Auto Car.
CAR: Here's the message-- well, that is so cool.
