At the time Motorola and LG began teasing their first Android Wear devices, and Google gave us a few initial details about how Android Wear would work. For those that have been eagerly waiting for more, today Google not only announced that you'll be able to order a G Watch and the newly announced Samsung Gear Live on the Play store today, it also let the rest of the Android Wear details out of the bag. While some of what was seen during the Keynote was more of a refresher, it was impressive nonetheless. Google provided on-stage demos of voice commands, notifications, and other actions using devices from both LG and Motorola. Of course, Android Wear is about more than voice commands. We also learned that the platform will have support for heart-rate monitors, pedometers and the watches running the platform will even be able to activate a music app on the phone. You’ll then be able to control your tunes using your watch. Google’s main goal is to eliminate the need to constantly take out your phone, something that the average user reportedly does as much as 125 times a day. This means giving you the power to control your phone from your watch in certain circumstances, as well as receiving and interacting with notifications from your phone. Of course there will be times when you don’t want to be bothered by your Android Wear device, and that’s why the software will make it easy to silence the watch with a swipe for situations where you don’t want to be buzzed all the time by your apps. Android Wear SDK To further expand the Android Wear experience an SDK will shown be launching that allows developers to push notifications to Android Wear devices and even create their own custom apps. That means developers can write their own interfaces, as shown off by Google with an app called Eat24, which made it easy to order pizza directly from your watch. The SDK also lets developers utiilize watch sensors and tap into voice commands. The SDK also makes it easy to send data back and forth between a phone, tablet or watch. ... developing...."/> <meta property="bt:author" content="Andrew Grush"/> <script

At the time Motorola and LG began teasing their first Android Wear devices, and Google gave us a few initial details about how Android Wear would work. For those that have been eagerly waiting for more, today Google not only announced that you’ll be able to order a G Watch and the newly announced Samsung Gear Live <a title="LG G Watch, Samsung Gear Live to launch on Play Store today, Moto 360 later this summer" href="https://web.archive.org/web/20150323025103/http://www.androidauthority.com/lg-g-watch-samsung-gear-live-launch-play-store-today-moto-360-later-summer-397250/">on the Play store today</a>, it also let the rest of the Android Wear details out of the bag.</p><div class="widget_block widget_ad mobile" role="banner"><div class="center adv_text">Advertisement</div><div id="text-67" class="widget widget_text"> <div class="textwidget"><div class="ad gpt" id="ad-300x250-mob-a"></div></div> </div></div> <p>While some of what was seen during the Keynote was more of a refresher, it was impressive nonetheless. Google provided on-stage demos of voice commands, notifications, and other actions using devices from both LG and Motorola. Of course, Android Wear is about more than voice commands. We also learned that the platform will have support for heart-rate monitors, pedometers and the watches running the platform will even be able to activate a music app on the phone. You’ll then be able to control your tunes using your watch.</p> <p>Google’s main goal is to eliminate the need to constantly take out your phone, something that the average user reportedly does as much as 125 times a day. This means giving you the power to control your phone from your watch in certain circumstances, as well as receiving and interacting with notifications from your phone. Of course there will be times when you don’t want to be bothered by your Android Wear device, and that’s why the software will make it easy to silence the watch with a swipe for situations where you don’t want to be buzzed all the time by your apps.</p> <h4>Android Wear SDK</h4> <p>To further expand the Android Wear experience an SDK will shown be launching that allows developers to push notifications to Android Wear devices and even create their own custom apps. That means developers can write their own interfaces, as shown off by Google with an app called Eat24, which made it easy to order pizza directly from your watch. The SDK also lets developers utiilize watch sensors and tap into voice commands. The SDK also makes it easy to send data back and forth between a phone, tablet or watch.</p> <p>… developing….</p> <nav class="soc_share_bottom mobile" style="display: none;"> <div class="single_share_block single_post_additional_block short"> <div class="aa_socs_total"> 111 </div> <div class="aa_socials single_socs clearfix"> <a class="soc fb window" title="Share on Facebook" rel="me" href="https://web.archive.org/web/20150323025103/https://www.facebook.com/sharer.php?app_id=598473026880919&u=http://www.androidauthority.com/android-wear-io-official-397096/&t=Android+Wear+platform+fully+unveiled+at+I%2FO+2014"><span class="soc_count">75</span></a> <a class="soc tw window" title="Share on Twitter" rel="me" href="https://web.archive.org/web/20150323025103/https://twitter.com/intent/tweet?url=http://www.androidauthority.com/android-wear-io-official-397096/&text=Android+Wear+platform+fully+unveiled+at+I%2FO+2014"><span class="soc_count">35</span></a> <a class="soc g window" title="Share on Google +" rel="me" href="https://web.archive.org/web/20150323025103/https://plus.google.com/share?url=http://www.androidauthority.com/android-wear-io-official-397096/"><span class="soc_count">1</span></a> </div> </div> </nav> </section> <nav class="single_post_nav clearfix abs_pos"><div id="aa_via_source"><div class="aa_tags"><span class="aa_tags_text">Tags:</span><a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20150323025103/http://www.androidauthority.com/tag/android-wear/">#Android Wear</a></div></div></nav> <div class="widget_block widget_ad" role="banner"> <style> #content .widget_block.widget_ad .blog_post { padding: 0; width: 100%; } </style> <div id="text-60" class="widget widget_text desktop"> <div class="textwidget"><center><div class="ad gpt" id="ad-300x250-b"></div></center><br> <div id="native-b"></div></div> </div><div id="text-61" class="widget widget_text tablet-mobile"> <div class="textwidget"><center><div class="ad gpt" id="ad-300x250-mob-b"></div></center><br> <div id="native-b"></div></div> </div> </div> <div class="clear"></div> </article> <div id="contextual-a"></div> <div class="widget_block widget_ad" role="banner"> </div> <h3 id="cmnts-397096" class="heading comments_heading cmnts">Comments</h3> <div class="cmnts_block"> <div class="load-comments" style="display: none;"> <span class="hidden">397096</span> <a href="javascript:void(0)" class="btn">Load comments</a> </div> <div id="comments" class="comments_wrapper nav nav-primary"> <div id="disqus_thread"> </div> <script type="text/javascript"> var disqus_url = 'https://web.archive.org/web/20150323025103/http://www.androidauthority.com/android-wear-io-official-397096/'; var disqus_identifier = '397096 http://www.androidauthority.com/?p=397096'; var disqus_container_id = 'disqus_thread'; var disqus_shortname = 'androidauthority'; var disqus_title = "Android Wear platform fully unveiled at I\/O 2014"; var disqus_config_custom = window.disqus_config; var disqus_config = function () { /* All currently supported events: onReady: fires when everything is ready, onNewComment: fires when a new comment is posted, onIdentify: fires when user is authenticated */ this.language = ''; this.callbacks.onReady.push(function () { // sync comments in the background so we don't block the page var script = document.createElement('script'); script.async = true; script.src = '?cf_action=sync_comments&post_id=397096'; var firstScript = document.getElementsByTagName('script')[0]; firstScript.parentNode.insertBefore(script, firstScript); }); if (disqus_config_custom) { disqus_config_custom.call(this); } }; (function() { var dsq = document.createElement('script'); dsq.type = 'text/javascript'; dsq.async = true; dsq.src = '//' + disqus_shortname + '.disqus.com/embed.js'; (document.getElementsByTagName('head')[0] || document.getElementsByTagName('body')[0]).appendChild(dsq); })(); </script> </div> </div> <div class="widget_block widget_ad mobile" role="banner"> </div> </div> <div class="widget_block widget_ad" role="banner"> </div> <div class="clear section_end"></div> </section> <div class="clear"></div> </div> </div> <div class="ending"> <div class="aa_ss_more hide">Load More</div> <div class="loader endscroll"></div> </div> </div> </div> <div class="clear"></div> </div> </div> <footer id="footer" role="contentinfo"> <div id="footer_bottom"> <div id="copyright"> <div class="copyright_wrapper"> <b>Copyright © 2015 AndroidAuthority.com</b> <br>AndroidAuthority.com is not affiliated with Google or any of the device manufacturers listed on this site.
