Google Chrome will also have a new API implemented to improve the encryption of the data we transmit to various web applications, which offer more security for those who log into them. This change is extremely important for those at Google, because in this way Google Chrome will offer the possibility to use both the company's services and the services of other companies in a much greater safety, without the data being taken over by hackers.

It provides access to input and output capabilities for AR/VR with use cases including immersive 360° videos, data visualization, and home shopping. Supporting mobile devices, mobile headsets, and desktop rigs, it allows for uniform apps across Google Daydream, Samsung Gear VR, Oculus Rift, HTC Vive, and Windows Mixed Reality Headsets.”
