CALIFORNIA - Not content to dominate cyberspace, Google is now going to 'invade' your home by creating open source software that can turn on various electronic devices such as light bulbs, dishwashers, thermostat and so on.
Wireless technology enables these devices to communicate with smart devices such as tablet PCs, computer or mobile phone as an instrument controller and data recorder.
This project was announced by Google on software developers conference in San Francisco. Google claims the purpose of this project is to realize the wide range of devices that connect and communicate with each other.
This device will be connected by Google's Android system, called Android @ home. Such as the Telegraph reported on Thursday (12/05/2011).
In the display in front of visitors conference, Google showed how to turn off and turn on the lights with a tablet or send music from internet to your hi-fi.
"We are increasing the use of the Android platform in homes. This is really exciting," said by Senior Vice President of Mobile for Google, Andy Rubin.
Some of the innovations on display Google is a bulb that can be controlled through the Android-based devices as well as Tungsten sound system that can be synchronized with Google's cloud-music service.
"The strength of Android is the system can be used by many people in many different ways. We will see some very interesting products,"added Rubin.
Gartner analyst Ken Dulaney added, "Basically, Google connects many devices that are not designed to connect like that. Many devices will become 'smart ' and connect, and Android hopes to become the technology to realize it."
