It is comparison to Amazon's Echo, and Home will answer questions and execute commands in a similar way, relying on Google's Assistant technology to make sense of the queries.Google said the new assistant is part of a plan to make working with technology more "conversational".For Google Home, the Google Assistant merges with Chromecast and smart home devices to control televisions, thermostats and other products. It will also connect to Google's new Allo messaging App, which is scheduled for release this summer. The new platform will serve as a proofing ground for VR content Google says, and contains a list of specifications Google believes virtual reality product should meet. Smartphones makers including Samsung, HTC and Huawei, have already signed up to Daydream, Google said - who also unveiled a basic blueprint for recommended VR headset design.
A new motion controller for use alongside headsets was also revealed.
