Usage on other devices of Android

The open and customizable nature of Android
allows it to be used on other electronics aside
from smartphones and tablets, including
laptops and netbooks , smartbooks , [201]
smart TVs (Google TV ) and cameras (Nikon
Coolpix S800c and Galaxy Camera ). [202][203]
In addition, the Android operating system has
seen applications on smart glasses ( Google
Glass), smartwatches , [204] headphones, [205]
car CD and DVD players, [206] mirrors, [207]
portable media players , [208] landline [209]
and Voice over IP phones. [210] Ouya, a video
game console running Android, became one
of the most successful Kickstarter campaigns,
crowdfunding US$8.5m for its development,
[211][212] and was later followed by other
Android-based consoles, such as Nvidia's
Project Shield — an Android device in a video
game controller form factor. [213]
In 2011, Google demonstrated
"Android@Home", a home automation
technology which uses Android to control a
range of household devices including light
switches, power sockets and thermostats.
[214] Prototype light bulbs were announced
that could be controlled from an Android
phone or tablet, but Android head Andy
Rubin was cautious to note that "turning a
lightbulb on and off is nothing new," pointing
to numerous failed home automation
services. Google, he said, was thinking more
ambitiously and the intention was to use their
position as a cloud services provider to bring
Google products into customers' homes. [215]
