Google developing set-top box, packed with camera and motion sensor

During this year’s Consumer Electronics Show, Google showed off a prototype of a set-top box device featuring a camera and motion sensor behind closed doors, as the Wall Street Journal reports.

According to WSJ, demonstrations of the Android-powered device were led by then Google executive, Andy Rubin. WSJ mentions the device allows for the streaming of YouTube videos, TV shows and movies, with a core feature of Google’s video-conference, Hangouts. Through the device, users could also use Android apps and games, as well as “potentially” accessing media services like Netflix and Pandora.

Thank you, WSJ.
