Project Ara is quickly becoming one of the most interesting Google tech projects of the year. As everyone is extremely excited, everything we learn is very important. Google has its latest working prototype and showed it to the world at Expand NY, and it’s pretty exciting.
The Technical Project Lead over the Modular Phone project, Paul Eremenko, showed up and introduced some new modules for the smartphone, like a Pulse Oximeter that can measure blood oxygen using light. Eremenko also showed how the modules can be undocked and removed without bricking up the device.
The prototype wasn’t beautiful by any means, but it still was functional and practical. Based on the ripples the device is making and the implications of mass adoption of this technology, Project Ara is definitely worth watching over the next two months before release.
I know I will be purchasing a Google modular phone when it is available for purchase. What about you? Leave a comment below and let us know!
