Google Launches New Site To Showcase Experimental Open Source Apps For Android


Google launched Android Experiments today, the mobile apps counterpart to its Chrome Experiments site.

Just like with Chrome Experiments, the idea behind Android experiments is to showcase apps that use new and cutting-edge technology, aesthetics and interfaces. All of the apps in the Android Experiments Gallery will be open source so other developers can see how they were made.

From the Official Blog Post:

Quote:
Android was created as an open and flexible platform, giving people more ways to come together to imagine and create. This spirit of invention has allowed developers to push the boundaries of mobile development and has helped make Android the go-to platform for creative projects in more placesfrom phones, to tablets, to watches, and beyond. We set out to find a way to celebrate the creative, experimental Android work of developers everywhere and inspire more developers to get creative with technology and code.

Today, were excited to launch Android Experiments: a showcase of inspiring projects on Android and an open invitation for all developers to submit their own experiments to the gallery.

The 20 initial experiments show a broad range of creative workfrom camera experiments to innovative Android Wear apps to hardware hacks to cutting edge OpenGL demos. All are built using platforms such as the Android SDK and NDK, Android Wear, the IOIO board, Cinder, Processing, OpenFrameworks and Unity. Each project creatively examines in small and big ways how we think of the devices we interact with every day.

Today is just the beginning as were opening up experiment submissions to creators everywhere. Whether youre a student just starting out, or youve been at it for a while, and no matter the framework it uses or the device it runs on, Android Experiments is open to everybody.
A reminder that AndroidQuestions.org is also part of The Questions Network.
