Keynote: The Sharing Economy made Amazing by Android (en)
summary
Airbnb reaches 17 million guest visits in one summer and hits a single-night peak above one million; Android tools actually used include Photosphere (with a DIY tripod rig to avoid parallax), Nest Cloud API for home/away and roaming environment profiles, and the Physical Web via Eddystone beacons or NFC/QR for proximity help. A hackathon project Host Magic won $115,000 by tying Android to in-home automation. Chromecast and Cardboard prototypes show VR walkthroughs and TV concierge apps; code examples and deployed hacks prove feasibility.
