Android Things - Karim Yaghmour, Opersys Inc.

While Android has shipped in more than a billion phones and has made its way into countless hmi systems, its uses have remained user-centric; that, despite some community attempts over the years to show that it can be used in headless systems. Google changed all that by introducing Brillo and Weave, and later announcing Android Things as the successor to Brillo. By using an Android-based system to venture head on into the world of IOT, Google has chosen to leverage its success in one ecosystem to help shape a completely different one. This talk will look at how Android Things builds on what Brillo was and how Android Things can be used to create Android-based IOT devices.
