Google's I/O 2017 event offered the company the perfect opportunity to announce the projects it's working on and the direction it intends to take for AI and VR technology.
Earlier this month, we published images of a project from the company regarding the new mobile operating system that Google is developing. Google Fuchsia was first mentioned last year, but the recent images we published showed the OS's UI system and revealed some features it could incorporate.
Android Police asked Google's VP of Android development, Dave Burke, about one of Google's most exciting projects, Fuchsia OS, during the Android Fireside Chat. The techie said that the experimental project is in a very early stage and is one of many projects that Google is working on.
What makes the Fuchsia operating system special is its open nature, which will allow developers to see the code and contribute to it.
David Burke stated:
“Fuchsia is a very early-stage project. We have a lot of new early-stage projects at Google. I think what’s interesting about it is that it’s open source, so people can see it and comment on it. Like a lot of early-stage projects, it’s probably going to change and morph. There are some really smart people, people we’ve worked with who are great. So the exciting thing is to see what happens. But it’s definitely a different kind of independent Android project.”
It's worth noting that Google's Fuchsia project is not being developed alongside Android, meaning Google has no intention of replacing it with Android OS or Chrome OS. This means, of course, that the company will continue to invest in 3 similar operating system projects...
Still, of course, no one can say anything for sure, because everything can change in the future, as the Fuchsia operating system will gradually start to become a stable operating system.
