AUSTIN, Texas, March 10 (UPI) -- Google will launch an Android developers kit for wearables, according to Sundar Pichai, head of Android and Chrome, while speaking at the SXSW conference Monday.
While Pichai did not say whether Google itself will develop wearables, he did say that the kit will help developers create wearable devices that run on Android. Google, according to Pichai, is presently focused on looking at wearables from a "platform level," positioning the company as a stakeholder in wearable technology without having to build their own wearables.
