I thought Cardboard was just Google's snarky response to Oculus/Morpheus hype, not actually a serious thing?

I mean it's called friggin Cardboard.

Google Keynote: we made a $10 VR headset that we gave to children and let them experience the world.

It's a standard open framework for making your own cheap and easily watchable VR video. It's quite different than hacking together your own street view camera.

Do you know if the Android app is going live today or is it just the website? (or vice versa)

Also, will it just be an update to the current G+/Photos app, or a separate app?

I dunno, Jump feels half-baked

I want the 2020 version where Jump cameras are in your phone, and you can record video of a concert while holding up the camera. Then after you upload the video to Youtube, other people can watch the concert on Youtube using headsets/Carboard and look around the venue like they're there.

edit: oh, and then you can spot another person with a Jump camera far off in the distance in the recorded video and automatically "Jump" to their vantage point

edit 2: and also I want live streaming of Jump video

Really it's just a rename, but along with the rename they are adding a few new features / initiatives:

http://officialandroid.blogspot.com/2015/05/pay-your-way-with-android.html


* Tap to pay in apps: Making an online purchase? The days of entering your credit card and shipping address each time you make a purchase online will be a thing of the past. Just select “Buy with Android Pay” and leave the rest to us; checkout is as fast as a tap.

* To make it easier for developers to add Android Pay to your favorite apps, we’ve designed our platform to work with any payment processor. And we’re partnering with top payments processors including Braintree, CyberSource, First Data, Stripe and Vantiv to make integration even easier... by enabling bank apps to integrate with our platform, you’ll be able to add your credit and debit cards directly from bank apps for use with Android Pay... when your bank integrates, you could also activate Android Pay directly from your bank app.

* we’re partnering with all the major payment networks in the US including American Express, Discover, MasterCard and Visa to deliver industry standard security tokenization. [so this may address some complaints about how Wallet currently uses virtual card numbers]

* We are also working with major US mobile carriers (AT&T, T-Mobile, Verizon) to help ensure that when you buy a new Android phone, you can walk out the door ready to use Android Pay.

Photos is on the Play Store now, seems to be backing up my photos again for some reason.

Possibly due to the high quality option.

Unfortunately, Photos has stopped.

3998 photos left to back up. Kinda weird because they're all on my Google+ Photos already. Hopefully this doesn't turn into a clusterfuck of duplicates.

Yeah, I'm kind of confused. Loaded the new photo app and it has the same icon as the old photos app. It install, added a second icon and then uninstalled the old app. Same deal, uploading all the photos from my phone even though they were already all synced to Google+ Photos.
