Top Experiments with Google you need to try
Play, learn, and redefine the possibilities of technology as you journey through Google's creative universe
Experiments with Google is a cool website where people create fascinating projects using artificial intelligence and machine learning. These projects push the boundaries of technology, ranging from mini-games that can be played on budget Android phones to more robust Chrome browser experiences. Thousands of these experiments are on the website, with new ones added weekly. We curated our top favorites we think you should try out.
Chrome's latest experiment is like a Trapper Keeper for your search history
'Journeys' gathers all related results into a single space
Google keeps track of your activity across every device you own — something that would be terrifying if it weren’t so damn helpful. We’ve all dived back into our browser history to find something from days earlier, whether it’s a recipe, a nearby restaurant, or that long-read you didn’t finish reading. With two new Chrome experiments, Google wants to make it easier to pick up where you last left off.
Google has a borderline-creepy take on video calls from the future
This almost feels like holodeck tech
Google's I/O developer conference kicked off today, and among all the exciting announcements about fixing Wear OS and UI tweaks, the search giant unveiled a wild new video chat project it's working on. Called Starline, it uses machine learning and special displays to render video calls in convincing 3D. The result looks like something straight out of science fiction.

Google’s Blob Opera experiment lets you create festive music — no talent required
These blobs have got some nice pipes
This year has been drab but that doesn't mean we can't end it on a good note. In fact, Google's new machine learning experiment, called Blob Opera, aims to do just that. With the help of some adorable little blobs — reminiscent of Google's much-loved old emoji — you can create festive songs before sharing them with friends and family.
Google’s latest AI experiment wants you to lip-sync a song to help it learn how we speak
It's also aiding ALS research, a cause that deserves more attention
Google's AI projects are by far some of the most impressive in the world. If you use a Pixel device, there's AI behind almost everything you do, from taking photos to talking to Assistant. Google's latest experiment asks you to lipsync with a popular song, and in return, you get a scorecard rating your efforts. Think Singstar without the music videos or the ability to choose the song, and you've got an accurate idea of what this does.
Shared Piano is a Google experiment for jamming with your friends remotely
Connect up a midi keyboard or simply tap away at your computer's keys to play
Lockdown has been especially hard for musicians around the world, whether professionals who play in bands or amateurs who like to noodle around with their friends sometimes. Google's latest web-based experiment could help with that, allowing groups of up to 10 to play music together remotely.
