Google is diving into the Internet of things with plans for developer kits for wearables, CNET reported.
Sundar Pichai, who heads Google's Android and Chrome, announced on Sunday that the Android software developer kits would be available in two weeks, according to CNET.
The tech giant is looking to develop wearable devices "at a platform level," said Pichai, as reported by The Verge.
Google could present its Android system as a wearables platform, which would further the brand without involving Google in actual product development.
"We'll lay out a vision for developers as to how we'll see this market working," Pichai said, according to The Verge.
Google hopes to become the standard for wearables, which are "becoming nexuses of an array of sensors," according to The Verge. The company is looking to develop standardization across wearable devices so developers will decide to use Android instead of a custom OS.
"We want to develop a set of common protocols by which they can work together," Pichai said, "they need a mesh layer and they need a data layer by which they can all come together."
The Google official also hinted at the implementation of Nest, the Internet of things startup that Google purchased earlier this year for $3.2 billion.
While the maker of smart thermostats and smoke detectors should stay as its own distinct brand, it brought a strong line of products and a killer design team to Google, Reuters reported at the time.
Google is looking to develop a platform that will let multiple wearables work in sync, Pichai said.
"We are thinking hard about the layer which will connect all these devices together," Pichai said, according to CNET. "That's something we will work hard" for.
