Internet of Things (IoT), pretty extensively is one of today’s fastest-growing tech trends. And Google is right in the mix here.Google and Facebook (FB) are creating various internet universes, in hopes of driving the IoT revolution themselves.
With Google specifically, I noted how the company is centering its ambitions on the Nest smart thermostat.
But Google just gave its universe a big bang!
It’s making the creation of IoT devices easy for developers by designing a new operating system called “Brillo.”
Brillo is essentially a scrubbed-down version of its Android system, which is layered on top of the existing Android platform. The communications language behind Brillo will be called Weave – and between the two new creations, Google will put IoT devices within reach of anyone who currently develops Android products.
Think about that: Thousands, if not millions, of developers and companies around the world will now have a brand-new, easy platform to create their IoT-enabled products.
The other “universes” I mentioned will have their uses… but this one is as big a kick-start to the IoT revolution as can be imagined.
