Here's what to expect and where to watch the second day of Google's big event

Share this story

Yesterday Google I/O poured announcements on us the way I pour syrup on a steaming stack of flapjacks: Android M will optimize the platform while adding a number of new services; Google Cardboard will make VR more accessible — even for iPhone owners; and Android Pay will try to do what Google Wallet couldn't, get people to pay for toilet paper and taxi rides with their smartphones. Plus, Google announced Now on Tap, a search system that our own Dieter Bohn describes as "fast, accurate, creepy, and great."

Did I mention the best news? That the director of the greatest action film franchise premiered his new short? Because he did. Okay, maybe Google Photo was better news. So much happened, that it might just be easier to read this recap of the 12 most important announcements.

What's happening today? Expect to learn more about the work of Google's Advanced Technology and Projects group (ATAP). The team has been cracking on Project Ara, wearables, and that Justin Lin short presented in "full 360 with 3D soundsphere" — their words, not mine. Also expect to hear new details on Project Tango, Google's mobile 3D tracking and perception platform.
