Likewise, the search engine introduced two new apps messaging, the first one, Allo aims to complete the functions of Google assistant, by allowing so much about one to one and in groups with friends. However, what is unique about this app is the ability to speak not only with others but also with Google Assitant.
Also Duo is an application for faster and more reliable video calls even on slower speed networks, said Google. The most striking thing Duo is its functionality, “Knock Knock” showing a live video of the person who is calling before answering, so if you’re sitting on the couch in your home to make the video call, the receiver will see before even picking up, and know you’re placidly in your room, calling him.

Daydream is what Google calls “Virtual Reality high quality mobile technology,” which includes phones with sufficient technical specifications to achieve this, a helmet, a dedicated control and also support a list of developers who have already signed to bring content to platform: HBO, Netflix, Ubisoft, EA, etc.
Finally, the company also introduced Google Home, a speaker that works as a virtual assistant that answers questions and perform basic tasks..
This new gadget will arrive later this year and will use the 25 million Chromecasts available in the world to compete against the speaker Amazon Echo, introduced less than two years ago and one of the products most successful online retailer.

One of the main design features of Google Home is that the base is interchangeable. to adapt to different corners of the house.
