Google X is Google's secret research and development facility that oversees more than 100 futuristic projects. Some projects include developing a space elevator to transport payloads into space more efficiently than rocket launches, connecting home appliances to the internet, and developing Google Glass - an augmented reality head-mounted display. Google is also working on developing ultra-high speed internet through Google Fiber and self-driving car technology.
3. What is Google X ?
Google X Lab
A secret R&D facility run by Google.
Thought to be located somewhere in
California.
Overseen by Sergey Brin.
More than 100 futuristic projects are said to
be under way there.
5. a space elevator project
a space transportation system
main component is a ribbon-like cable
anchored to the surface and extending into
space
It is designed to permit vehicle transport along
the cable from a planetary surface, such as the
Earth's, directly into space or orbit, without
the use of large rockets.
6. a space elevator project
a system capable of lifting a payload miles into
the sky in order to put it in orbit,
which could theoretically be more efficient than
sending it via a spacecraft launch.
the top of the elevator would be attached to Earth by
an immense cable.
the problems to be overcome include,
the immense weight of a miles-long cable
the mechanical system that can operate a car
vertically over such a great distance.
11. project - google glass
an augmented reality head-mounted display (HMD)
aka. a glass with a Smart Phone.
purpose,
the hands-free displaying of information currently
available to most smart phone users,
allow interaction with the Internet via natural
language voice commands.
Its brings the internet world and real world
together.
12. google glass basic components
802.11 b/g 2.4GHz WLAN
a low-energy Bluetooth 4.0 radio
bone-conducting sound technology
a side-mounted touchpad
an Android-powered display,
a tiny webcam,
a GPS locator
an Internet connection node built into one side
of a pair of glasses
microphone for voice commands
15. google fiber
an experimental broadband internet network infrastructure
using OFC.
up to 1000 Mb per second,
100 times faster than today's average Internet, allowing
you to get what you want instantaneously.
ZERO buffering;
everything will be ready to go when you are. So whether
you are video chatting, uploading family videos, or playing
your favorite online games, all you need to do is click and
you're there.

16. google fiber - features
Your DVR can do more
Record up to eight programs simultaneously,
two terabytes of storage
All your content in one place
200 HD channels, tens of thousands of shows
movies on-demand (including Netflix)
Crystal clear HD
A bigger pipe means less compression.
Luckily, Google's ultra fast Fiber network has more than enough bandwidth to ensure you get
HD in all its glory ... with nothing left behind.
A terabyte of cloud storage
Things happen But no matter what happens to your computer or mobile devices, your files
are safely stored in Google Drive.
Keep everything. Share anything.
Google Drive is everywhere you are - on the web, in your home, at the office and on the go.
Fast and powerful Wi-Fi
Enjoy super fast Wi-Fi speeds with 802.11a/b/g/n - max 75MBps
including 3x3 MIMO antennas and
dual concurrent radios.
19. Googles Self Driving Car
it is capable of sensing its environment and
navigating without human input.
Radar
Lidar
GPS
Computer Vision
The U.S. state of Nevada passed a law on June 29,
2011 permitting the operation of driverless cars
in Nevada.
20. Benefits
Fewer traffic collisions, due to the autonomous system's increased reliability and decreased
reaction time compared to human drivers.
Increased roadway capacity and reduced traffic congestion due to reduced need for safety gaps and
the ability to better manage traffic flow.
Relief of vehicle occupants from driving and navigation chores.
Higher speed limit for autonomous cars
Removal of constraints on occupants' state in an autonomous car, it would not matter if the
occupants were under age, over age, blind, distracted, intoxicated, or otherwise impaired.
Alleviation of parking scarcity as cars could drop off passengers, park far away where space is not
scarce, and return as needed to pick up passengers.
Elimination of redundant passengers humans are not required to take the car anywhere, as the
robotic car can drive independently to wherever it is required.
This would be especially relevant to trucks, taxis and car-sharing services.
Reduction of space required for vehicle parking.
Reduction in the need for traffic police and vehicle insurance.
Reduction of physical road signage autonomous cars could receive necessary communication
electronically
Improved fuel efficiency
22. Android @ Home
an initiative that lets Android apps discover,
connect and communicate with appliances
and devices in the household.
Android Open Accessory devs can build
new hardware accessories that work across all
Android devices.
24. Google Go 1.0 : Are You Ready For It?
Go is an expressive, concurrent, garbage-
collected programming language.
once you write a program, then it will be
compatible with all the future versions of Go,
which is a unique and great thing about it.
High-speed compilation.

27. What is DART ?
open source Web programming language
developed by Google.
The goal - "ultimately to replace JavaScript.
Works on client-side
more easily tooled for large-scale projects and
better security features.
object-oriented.
Checked mode/ production mode
Dart -> Compile -> Js = Run
Chrome : Dart -> Dart VM -> Run
