When we think of VR, our minds naturally gravitate towards three-dimensional environments and interactions. But, there are times when it's necessary to present content in a two-dimensional way. With VR, we have the opportunity to reevaluate the nature of screens, and how we view and interact with screen-based content. This talk will cover techniques the Daydream team uses to create legible, usable screen interfaces in VR. We will introduce new workflows, new units, and highlight interaction opportunities and pitfalls.

Polymer: Billions Served; Lessons Learned (08:30 - 09:30)

About the session

Polymer went from an experiment to a Big Thing serving tons of users in major Google products and some of the biggest companies in the world in no time. Success is great! But there's always room for improvement. Mistakes were made. Lessons were learned. Regrets were had. Two years, hundreds of elements, and thousands of apps later, we've got a pretty good idea what makes an element and an app great, and what's changing in Polymer 2.0 as a result. Come hear what this means for the Polymer Elements, your elements and your apps, in a new episode of the Meownica show!

In Conversation, There Are No Errors (18:30 - 19:30)

About the session

When building a Conversation Action for the Google Assistant, consider that so-called 'error events' don't have to be treated as edge cases. Instead, these can become opportunities to forge meaningful exchanges that leverage users' mental models of how everyday conversations unfold. This talk will frame a new way of approaching fallback and repair, in which so-called errors become organic turns in the dialog. We will provide design tips for your action logic to allow the conversation to move forward naturally.

About the session

Imagine trying to read a website through a straw... mentally processing an audio signal feels a lot like that. In our new era of computing where advancements in conversational UIs and artificial intelligence are enabling users in new ways, it's easy to be tempted to take an existing visual-based app or GUI and simply 'convert it to voice'. But while voice brings with it the potential for speed and simplicity, hands-free experiences can become overly complicated easily when based on another mode of interaction. Get the scoop on what types of use cases transfer well to voice interactions and why.

About the session

The world has a short attention span. Every time your app takes long to respond, does not render smoothly, or does not perform well you risk losing users. We all know tracking and understanding performance issues is hard, which is why so many apps are affected by them. Today, we announced Firebase Performance Monitoring, a brand new feature in Firebase that allows you to gain detailed insight into the performance of your app. These insights are highly contextual to actions in your app and are attributed to factors including devices, countries and app versions. What used to be a painstaking effort is now as simple as including an SDK, and making a few API calls!

Building Fast Web Experiences with Cloud Functions on Firebase Hosting (17:30 - 18:30)

We all want a fast page load, but there's a lot of factors in the way. Dealing with network latency, managing code size, and serving content to users across the globe in just a few seconds is not an easy task. Firebase Hosting has powerful tools like a global CDN cache, HTTP/2, and now a dynamic way to generate content to help you get your page loaded and painted on the browser fast. Come join and pull up the Chrome Dev Tools. This talk will teach you how to profile slow loads and use Firebase Hosting features to speed them up.

Applying Built-in Hacks of Conversation to Your Voice UI (13:30 - 14:30)

About the session

As you gear up to build great Conversation Actions for the Google Assistant, find out how to leverage one of the principles that practically defines what it means to be 'conversational' - our ability to take mental leaps, to draw inferences, to be informative, to feel like we're making progress. Conversation is systematic, but to the surprise of many technologists, this conversational principle actually defies the rules of formal logic. So come find out the non-literal truth of everyday back-and-forths; take advantage of this principled, built-in 'hack' of spoken language; and delight your users with the intuitive ease of everyday conversation.

Speakers

James Giangola

A simple and beautiful idea: everyday conversation exhibits systematic design features essential for the creation of successful Voice UIs. This is James Giangola's disruptive contribution to the VUI industry, a concept he's researched rigorously and promoted globally. His approach has led to a paradigm shift with significant implications for dialog architecture, prompt design, prosody, who we work with and how, corporate branding, and the design process itself. James is co-inventor and linguist on the patent 'VUIs with Personality' and co-author of Voice User Interface Design.

Cranking up performance in graphics intensive Web apps and games
Cranking up performance in graphics intensive Web apps and games (14:30 - 15:30)

About the session

Better graphics performance leads to richer, smoother and more responsive user experiences. Several new APIs (OffscreenCanvas, ImageBitmap and more) are geared at increasing graphics throughput and smoothness in applications that rely on the HTML canvas element. The possibilities offered by the new APIs range from simple performance tricks to powerful programming paradigms, such as asynchrony, multi-threading and transfer semantics. The target audience is web developers already familiar with WebGL or 2D canvas.
