Game on! See the power of apps in the Ping-Pong Hangout
Friday, January 25, 2013
Looking to add a little spice into your social media presence on the web?
Last week at
Creative Sandbox NYC
, which celebrates how technology is shaping culture and storytelling, we announced the launch of the
Ping-Pong Hangout
brought to you by Google+. This Hangout app allows users to play a game of Ping-Pong with an opponent by using their faces to control the paddle.
As fun as the Ping-Pong Hangout is, we’re most excited about what’s behind it: The
Google+ Hangouts API
. The API can help you to build deep, engaging and unique experiences for Hangouts. Just take a look at:
Scoot & Doodle
, for whiteboarding across the miles
Story Before Bed
, for reading bedtime stories over video chat
the
Google Art Project
, for leading your own curated art tour
For more examples and info, see the
Hangout Apps Showcase
, check out the recording of our
Hangout with the agencies behind the game
, flip through our
Getting Started guide
or ask questions of the
Google+ Developers
team via Hangout Tuesdays at 2:30pm PT.
What could a Hangout App do your business? How might you use one to add your character to video chats and broadcasts, or to provide more information to users? Head on over to the site to get inspired.
