Google's Android software is about to make the leap beyond smartphones and tablets.
Google (GOOGL, Tech30) revealed plans for Android Wear in March, but developers have been anxious to get details on its planned features and specifications.
The company said that Android Wear will use voice commands, let you swipe between screens, work with apps on your phone and feature voice-driven note-taking.
Siri-like question answering lets you see who's calling you and can allow you to send messages from the phone and set reminders. Apps are installed via your phone and sync automatically.
Google added that a watch from LG will be available to order later Wednesday on Google's Play store. Samsung is also joining the Android Wear family with the Samsung Gear Live, also available to order later Wednesday.
The Moto 360 watch will be available for sale later this summer.
The tech giant unveiled a new watch, as well as ways for Android to be used for television and cars at its annual I/O conference for software developers Wednesday.
The company, as widely expected, showcased its new smartwatch-ready "Android Wear" software.
