We've learned that Google - the first search engine, useful online services and Android. But in fact, the ambition of the company is much broader. In this article you will learn about some Google secret projects that are able to change the planet for the better.
Google X - is one of the companies within the Holding Alphabet. It is located in the unremarkable building a few kilometers away from the main office Googleplex in Mountain View, California. the company monitors the work personally Sergey Brin, one of Google co-founders. It is very rarely allowed journalists, but this is where the most interesting.
1. Project Loon
The purpose of this project - to provide access to the Internet in rural and remote regions where it is impossible to create ground infrastructure. To do this, Google offers to run high-altitude balloons, which will reside in the sky at an altitude of about 18 kilometers. The balloons are capable of moving in a predetermined point or, conversely, hang in one place through the use of various air flows.
2. Project Titan
Project Titan is also designed to create a single global wireless network, but with the help of drones hovering in the sky. They look like ultra-light aircraft, the wings of which contain solar panels provide power to the device. Due to this the drones will be in flight over the years, without requiring the landing and refueling.
3. Baseline Study
Experienced doctors argue that perfectly healthy people do not happen - there are poorly sampled. Indeed, the concept of the norm on the state of health and well-being is very vague. Project Baseline Study is intended to fill this concept a real sense and determine what is a healthy person really is. To this end, Google wants to collect a large amount of molecular genetic information from a sufficient number of human individuals and to bring ideal health formula. Perhaps in the future androids will be created for these patterns?
4. Google driverless car
This project It is fairly well-known, at least on a regular basis there are news about the latest tests of drones. Works are almost in the final stage. In April 2014 the company announced that its cars have been almost 1.1 million kilometers. At the same time Google has shown a new prototype of its unmanned vehicle that has no steering wheel or pedals of gas and brakes and a 100% self-contained. If Google does all the work - and no doubt this is the whole less - it will make a revolution in the transport system and save the lives of hundreds of thousands of people who die each year in the roads.
5. Google contact lenses
Google Contact Lenses - an experimental electronic radio transmission sensor device based on a contact lens that is able to diagnose the disease and to control some of the important physiological parameters by analyzing the tear liquid. It is now successfully applied for the determination of blood glucose levels in diabetic patients.
6. google DeepMind
One of the most high-profile, promising and even a little frightening directions Google activity is the creation of artificial intelligence. So far, the company run in its development on the classic video games, image recognition and speech generation texts and music. However, in the near future it is planned to use artificial intelligence for more serious purposes. For example, DeepMind Health will cooperate with the UK National Health Service to develop and improve technologies for patient care.
And you still doubt that Google take over the world?
