First Google shop opens
Google has unveiled its first “shop in shop” – called the Google shop – in Currys PC World in the technology hub of London’s Tottenham Court Road.
The Google shop will offer customers the chance to sample Google’s range of Android phones and tablets, Chromebook laptops, and Chromecasts.
Additionally, visitors will have the chance to play with Google’s software tools and apps in a unique way, with installations including:
- A surround screen installation called “Portal”, where users can “fly” through any part of the planet through Google Earth.
- A Doodle Wall where people can use digital spray cans to paint their own take on Google’s logo, which can be shared on social media.
- A Chromecast Pod where customers watch Google Play Movies, YouTube, and more, using a Chromecast dongle that converts any TV into a smart TV.
The Google shop hopes to host regular classes and events for the public. Classes will range from how to keep secure online and simply learning how devices work, to understanding how different devices work together.
“Virtual Space Camps” will be offered to teach children the basics of coding and teachers will be invited to “Open House” events, to keep up to speed on the free educational tools on offer from Google.
