Google concluded its Wednesday morning presentation by focusing on photos. Google Clips is a special kind of camera that will work in conjunction with Google Pixel.

Google Clips centers around the idea of using an AI core to recognize photogenic moments, recognizing people and subjects. This way, users can simply live in the moment without having to focus on placing the camera or posing the family. The AI is expected to get smarter over time. However, the key feature here is that the processing is all done natively to the device, with none of the images being uploaded to the Cloud, eliminating a major privacy concern out of the gate.

The Google Clips camera is palm-sized, light enough to fit in a pocket. It's also hands-free and comes with a clip, so that it can be placed anywhere.

Google Clips is coming soon and will be available for $249.

Ozzie has been playing video games since picking up his first NES controller at age 5. He has been into games ever since, only briefly stepping away during his college years. But he was pulled back in after spending years in QA circles for both THQ and Activision, mostly spending time helping to push forward the Guitar Hero series at its peak. Ozzie has become a big fan of platformers, puzzle games, shooters, and RPGs, just to name a few genres, but he’s also a huge sucker for anything with a good, compelling narrative behind it. Because what are video games if you can't enjoy a good story with a fresh Cherry Coke?
