Google has released a build of a new app called Interactive Events on the Google Play Store but we’re not exactly sure what it’s supposed to do. The screenshots suggest that the new app will be used to check into conferences and receive information like the agendas and schedules for events, although Google has yet to confirm anything and has remained pretty tight lipped.
SourceOkay, we always get a little excited when a new app from Google Inc. appears in the Play Store. Tonight, Google’s pushed an app called Interactive Events up, but we’re not quite sure what it’s for yet. According to Google: “The Google Interactive Events App provides agenda details and speaker bios for managed events.” But it’s not exactly clear to us what managed events the app is meant to handle. Interactive Events asks users to either type or scan an event code (the latter using an external barcode scanner app). Once that’s done, users presumably continue to the actual interface, which looks like an unfinished mashup of previous years’ Google I/O apps.
