Hi, this is Wayne again with a topic “Google I/O 2019 event in 13 minutes”.
( audience cheering ) Good morning, good morning., Wonderful to be back here at Shoreline with all of you.. Last year we launched a new feature in Google News called Full Coverage and we have gotten great feedback on it from our users., We’ll be bringing full coverage directly to Search to better organize results for news-related topics.. You can even now see a timeline of events and we’ll be bringing this to Search later. This year. Podcasts are another important source of information.
And we’ll be bringing them directly to Search as well. With computer vision and augmented reality. The camera in our hands is turning into a powerful visual tool, so today we are excited to bring the camera to Google Search.. Now, when you search for something like muscle flexion, you can view a 3D model built by visible body right from the search results..
Not only that pretty cool., Not only that you can also place it in your own space., (, audience gasping and cheering ) Okay. Today, let me show you somebody new ways that we’re making Lens more helpful to you., Say you’re at a restaurant, trying to figure out what to order. Lens automatically highlights the popular dishes at this restaurant right on the menu.. And, of course, if you wan na know more, you can tap on any dish on the menu and you can see what it looks like again at the restaurant.
And, of course, check out what other people are saying about it on Google Maps., By the way, when You’Re done eating Lens can help pay for your meal., Not so fast. It’S not picking up your tab, but it can calculate the tip and even split the total., But we’re starting to think of other ways that we can connect helpful digital information with the things in the physical world.. So I’m gon na give you just one example. You’re flipping through a Bon Appetit magazine, and you see a recipe you like. Soon. You can point your camera at the recipe and see the page.
Come alive. Duplex enables Google Assistant to make restaurant reservations on your behalf by actually placing a call., But now we are moving beyond voice and extending Duplex to tasks on the web. Say you get a calendar reminder about an upcoming trip and you wan na book a Rental car., You can just ask Google book a National car rental for my next trip., The Assistant opens the National website and automatically starts filling out your information.. It’S acting on your behalf and helping you save time, but you are always in control of the flow..
What you just saw is an early preview of what we are calling Duplex on the web and we’ll have more details later this year.. What if the Assistant was so fast that processing your voice that tapping to operate your phone would almost seem slow.. This next generation Assistant will, let you instantly operate your phone with your voice, multi-task across apps and complete your calendar will even work offline., But it also has to be personal enough to really help you.. We call this feature picks for you and it’ll, be launching on smart displays later this summer, starting with recipes, podcasts and events.. Now, beyond your preferences becoming more personal means, the Assistant will better understand the people, places and events that are important to you.. If you shared important people, places and events with the Assistant you’ll be able to ask for things more naturally and rest assured you’re, always in control., You can edit or delete this information at anytime in the updated you tab in Assistant, settings., I’m happy to share the Assistant is also coming to ways in the next few weeks.. Now, I’d like to show you this future of how we’re improving your mobile driving experience even more., Introducing the Assistant’s new driving mode. Just put your phone in the car and say: hey, Google, let’s drive., Driving mode will be available this summer on any Android phone with The Assistant.
Part of the way we built for everyone is by ensuring that our products are safe and private.. If you’re in Search, you can tap on your photo and you can quickly access the most relevant privacy controls for Search in case your data in Search.. Here you can view and manage your recent activity and you can easily change your privacy settings..

You can choose how long you want it to be saved.. This is launching today for web and app activity., We’ll be rolling it out in location history in the coming weeks.. One tap access to your Google account will be coming to our major products, including Chrome Search Assistant, YouTube, Google, News and Maps. And speaking of Maps.
If you tap on your profile photo in addition to finding easy access to your privacy controls you’ll find a new feature. Incognito mode. Incognito mode has been a popular feature in Chrome since it launched and we are bringing this to Maps., While in incognito in Maps your activity like the places you search and navigate, to won’t, be linked to your account.. We wan na make it easy to enter in, and out of incognito and Maps will soon join Chrome and YouTube with support for incognito and will be bringing it to Search as well. This year.
Today there are over 2.5 billion active Android devices., And this year display technology will take an even bigger leap, with foldables coming from multiple Android OEMs. Foldables take advantage of a completely new display, technology. They literally bend and fold from phone to tablet-size, screen. And Q maximizes what’s possible on these screens. Another exciting innovation is 5G. And Android Q supports 5G natively. Now, in addition to hardware innovation, we’re also seeing huge firsts in software, driven by advances in on-device machine learning..
