Google Showcases Inspiring Projects on Android Experiments Website
Remember how back in 2009, Google rolled out the Chrome Experiments website to showcase browser-based experiments and test Chrome’s performance and abilities? Well, Google did something similar for its mobile operating system, Android.
Google recently rolled out Android Experiments, a website that presents inspiring projects that push the limits of what’s possible on the Android mobile platform.
“Android was created as an open and flexible platform, giving people more ways to come together to imagine and create. This spirit of invention has allowed developers to push the boundaries of mobile development and has helped make Android the go-to platform for creative projects in more places—from phones, to tablets, to watches, and beyond. We set out to find a way to celebrate the creative, experimental Android work of developers everywhere and inspire more developers to get creative with technology and code,” announced Roman Nurik, Design Advocate, and Richard The, Google Creative Lab.
When Chrome Experiments launched, it hosted 19 initial experiments. I bring this up because the recently launched Android Experiments is home to 20 initial experiments.
The featured experiment on the Android Experimentswebsite is Zach Liberman’s Inkspace, and it’s pretty darn cool. Inkspace is a drawing tool that uses your Android’s accelerometer to turn drawings into 3D images.
Several other interesting experiment are hosted on the Android Experiments website, like Roman Nurik’s Muzei, which puts a famous work of art on your Android's screen, Fathom's Coubertin Rings, a watch face to motivate your daily activity, or Larvalabs' Boo, which puts cute creatures on your screen (but they disappear when they see your face).
Check out all 20 initial experiments hosted on Android Experiments by visiting the Android Experiments website.
And why don’t you also check out some browser experiments by visiting the Chrome Experiments website. At launch, it was home to a mere 20 experiments. But as of February 2015, it is home to more than 1000 experiments.
