Google is staking its vision for the future on what it’s calling “ambient computing,” according to Rick Osterloh, Google’s hardware chief.
“Computers should be able to help you with whatever you need seamlessly, and be all around you,” Osterloh said in a Bloomberg Television interview on Wednesday.
At the end of the event, Google teased a more audacious gadget: a pair of glasses that use its Google Translate service. In a video demo, an elderly mother who speaks Mandarin was able to understand her daughter’s English. “We learned so much from the introduction with Glass,” Osterloh said on Bloomberg TV. “We clearly learned how hard it is to develop this kind of technology, and learned a lot about what users care about, and what’s important.”
