Abstract

Project Ara is an effort in Google´s Advanced Technology & Projects (ATAP) organization to create a modular smartphone platform, with the twin aims of delivering a deep customization experience to users and enabling significantly lowered barrier to entry into the mobile hardware ecosystem. The talk will describe the philosophical underpinnings of Project Ara, its status and timeline, and the opportunities it creates in the mobile processor space as an example. We will also talk about the origins of ATAP and its unique innovation model, inspired by that of the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA).
