Google launches new Interactive Events app for web, mobile to be used at its own events
Google launches a new standalone app every year for its conference and the new Interactive Events app is expected to replace the need of annual releases.

New Delhi: Google has rolled out a new app which is meant to be used at the company's own events. The Android app, Interactive Events, can be downloaded directly from Google Play Store.

The new second-screen tool for web and mobile is said to have strategically rolled out prior to the search giant's Google I/O 2015 developer conference. Google launches a new standalone app every year for its conference and this new app is expected to replace the need of the annual releases.

A report on Venture Beat stated that the Interactive Events app will allow guests attending events run by Google to interact with speakers on stage, take notes, participate in Q&A, connect to social media, and request for further follow-up information.

Although the current version of the app is solely Android-based, there is a possibility that it will also come in iOS variant because the description of the app refers to it as 'Google Events App' even when the official name is Interactive Events.

A message detailing the legal terms and conditions to use the app greets you when you log in the app for the first time and a disclaimer is also stated that a user's certain information is collected by the app as they use it and through Google Analytics.

Once you accept the terms and conditions, you are led to a page on which you can either scan a Google event's QR code or enter a confirmation code to add it to the list.

The app's web version works in mobile browsers providing flexibility to non-Android phone and tablet users. How smooth the app works will be known when the next Google event is organised. Registration for the Google I/O 2015 opens on March 17 and it could serve well as an opportunity to test the new app.

What's your reaction?
