If this was a startup, they would be dead in the water. Nothing of substance, awful sound, 9:45 mins in they don't have a key piece of live demo equipment (the phone)/
As someone else said, it's like they asked a couple of interns to rush something out in 24 hours.
No wonder the stock price is tanking. Awful display from Google.
Damn that was painful to watch. They seem utterly disconnected from how people actually use their phones in real life.
Finding elevators and atms with AR ? Is that the future google is selling ? Who's buying. If google maps was the equivalent of the invention the printing press that would be the invention of scented toilet paper
This whole display was just - weird. The production values make it seem like it was the equivalent of a local meetup group, not a worldwide presentation/announcement. But coming so soon after Google's big AI announcement on Monday, looks like the public/investors were assuming this would be a much bigger/more substantial event than it actually was.
That said, I still think this reflects very poorly on Google's organizational focus.
I just skimmed through the video and didn't see anything too terrible. To be honest, I don't care they forgot a phone. I'd rather see mistakes like that than over rehearsed presentations.
I am in the minority here. But for me, google's presentations were always like this. The presentation always seemed so rehearsed with artificial excitement.
