UPCOMING GOOGLE
PROJECTS:-
 Nest Labs is a home automation company
headquartered in Palo Alto, California, that
designs and manufactures sensor-driven, Wi-Fi-
enabled,selflearning,programmable thermostats

UPCOMING GOOGLE
PROJECTS:-
 Project Ara is the codename for an initiative
that aims to develop an open
hardware platform for creating highly modular
smartphones. The platform will include a
structural frame (endoskeleton that holds
smartphone modules of the owner's choice),
such as a display, camera or an extra battery.
It would allow users to swap out
malfunctioning modules or upgrade individual
modules as innovations emerge, providing
longer lifetime cycles for the handset, and
potentially reducing electronic waste

UPCOMING GOOGLE
PROJECTS:-
 Project Tango aspires to change the
way smart phones see. It adds 3D
sensors to Android phones to allow the
devices to create 3D maps of their
environment in real time, opening up a
variety of compelling potential
applications.

UPCOMING GOOGLE
PROJECTS:-
 Project Loon is a research and development project
being developed by Google with the mission of
providing Internet access to rural and remote areas.
The project uses high-altitude balloons placed in
the stratosphere at an altitude of about 32 km (20 mi)
to create an aerial wireless network with up to 3G-
like speeds. It was named Project Loon, since
Google itself found the very idea of providing internet
access to the remaining 5 billion population quite
unprecedented and crazy. The system aims to bring
Internet access to remote and rural areas poorly
served by existing provisions, and to improve
communication during natural disasters to affected
regions

UPCOMING GOOGLE
PROJECTS:-
 Google Glass is a type of wearable technology with
an optical head-mounted display (OHMD). It was
developed by Google with the mission of producing a
mass-market ubiquitous computer. Google Glass
displays information in a smartphone-like hands-free
format. Wearers communicate with the Internet via
natural language voice commands

UPCOMING GOOGLE
PROJECTS:-
 Smart contact lens
Add tiny circuits to a contact lens, and you might be able to measure
glucose levels in tears. Google is working on just such a contact lens
to help with the management of diabetes. And that's just the beginning
of the technology's potential medical applications

UPCOMING GOOGLE
PROJECTS:-
 Self-driving cars
While the notion of a self-driving car may seem far-fetched, Google and
other companies have already demonstrated the technology. Nissan said it
plans to be ready to sell a driverless car by 2020. Google and the
automakers experimenting with similar systems now need to create the
political, legal, and social conditions that will allow self-driving cars on public
roads.

UPCOMING GOOGLE
PROJECTS:-
 Robots
Last December, Google bought eight companies involved in the
development of robots. That's not an exploratory investment; it's a major
commitment, one that appears to dovetail nicely with the autonomous
navigation systems developed for Google's driverless cars. One of the
companies, Boston Dynamics, makes robots for military applications.

FUN FACTS ABOUT
GOOGLE
 There are more than 2 million Google searches
per second.
 Google's search index is more than 100 million
gigabytes in size. It would take 100,000 one-
terabyte personal drives to contain the same
amount of data

FUN FACTS ABOUT
GOOGLE
 Google has a pet T-rex, named Stan, which lives
at their California headquarters. Founders bought
it to remind the employees to not let Google go
extinct.

FUN FACTS ABOUT
GOOGLE
 Google HQ rents goats from California Grazing to
mow their lawns and fields. The employees think
that it’s a lot cuter to watch goats do the mowing
than lawn mowers

FUN FACTS ABOUT
GOOGLE
 Google has the largest network of translators in the
world
 They use the 20% / 5% rules. If at least 20% of
people use a feature, then it will be included. At least
5% of people need to use a particular search
preference before it will make it into the ‘Advanced
Preferences’.
 They have found in user testing, that a small number
of people are very typical of the larger user base.
They run labs continually and always monitoring how
people use a page of results.
 Gmail was used internally for nearly 2years prior to
launch to the public. They discovered there was
approximately 6 types of email users, and Gmail has
been designed to accommodate these 6.

FUN FACTS ABOUT
GOOGLE
 Google has acquired 24 companies this year alone
that's about three companies a month.
 One of the biggest leap in search usage came about
when they introduced their much improved spell
checker giving birth to the “Did you mean…” feature.
This instantly doubled their traffic, but they had some
interesting discussions on how best to place that
information, as most people simply tuned that out.
But they discovered the placement at the bottom of
the results was the most effective area.
 The infamous “I feel lucky” is nearly never used.
However, in trials it was found that removing it would
somehow reduce the Google experience. Users
wanted it kept. It was a comfort button.
 57% of American kids say ‘Google’ as their first word.

FUN FACTS ABOUT
GOOGLE
 Google has photographed more than 5
million miles of road for its Street View
maps

FUN FACTS ABOUT
GOOGLE
 Google's first ever Twitter post was as
satisfyingly geeky as you could hope for.

01100101 01101100 01101001
01101110 01100111 00100000 01101100
01110101 01100011 01101011 01111001
00001010."
