What Is Google X Labs?
The lab is less secret
The news reports on the lab made it less secret. The X company approaches radical ideas in an attempt to make the world a better place. The company doesn't release a lot of information its secret projects, but you can find some information active, graduated, and discontinued projects at its website.
A few older projects show the type of work X does. Delivery of package is different. The package is lowered to the ground by a cable rather than landing.
Google Glass
There are many questions about what the name of the company is trying to do, but it has been called "X" a lot in recent years. If you're confused by the new search engine, Pocket-lint has the answers you need. We've looked at the research lab and we've broken it down into its various parts.
Many things are kept under wraps by the company. You could be an expert on all things related to the search engine. The facility run by the company is known as "Google X" and is often referred to as "X".
The rumour mill media says that space elevators are an inside joke at the company. They are on whiteboards to keep people guessing. The goal of the device is to replace the experience of using a phone with a device that can be used without using hands.
It is meant to kick start ubiquitous computing so people won't always be chained to a computer. If you want to see how Glass works, you can watch the video below. It was released in early 2013 when the company first unveiled Project Glass.
You can learn about the updates for Glass via Pocket-lint. Although it said last summer that it had driven more than 300,000 accident-free miles, it is still lobbying for legal approval of self-driving cars. Manufacturers have been slow to use the technology.
Why Software Engineers Tilt at Google
At most Silicon Valley companies, innovation means developing online apps or ads, but not at Google. The lab is trying to be a place where ground-breaking research and development are happening, in the same way that Xerox PARC was in the 1970s, when it developed the modern personal computer. The lab is filled with roboticists and electrical engineers, which is why software engineers toil away elsewhere at the company. They have been hired from a number of companies.
Internet Access and the Rise of Global Competitiveness
A recent study by Deloitte shows that internet access in Latin America, Africa, and Asia would increase GDP by more than $2 trillion. Even a small percentage of growth would make Loon a billion dollar business. X is quietly resisting the modern attitude of innovation that is focused on quick products and profits. It is embedded with an appreciation for the long time it takes for a new technology to be developed.
The death of three apps and websites
The program for providing virtual reality experiences to school classrooms through the use of virtual field trips was killed in the summer. It was young. The mobile app that absorbed the Express product was killed 6 months ago.
The shopping tab functions on after it was retired. It was almost 2 years old. The Material Theme Editor was killed over a year ago and is a tool that allows you to create a material based design system for your app.
It was almost 2 years old. The service that gave partners an easy set of tools to roll-out public wi-fi was killed over a year ago. The software and guidance provided by the station can help turn fiber connections into fast, reliable and safe wi-fi zones.
It was young. Follow Your World was killed about 2 years ago and allowed users to register points of interest on the map and receive email updates whenever imagery is updated. It was young.
A service that was developed by the search engine was killed over 3 years ago. The new way that ITA Software will create will make it easier for users to find better flight information online, which will encourage more users to make their flight purchases online. It was young.
