The second conference of Google for developers interested in the Ara Project , an ambitious project to market modular smartphones, helped to highlight all kinds of revelations, including the fact that a pilot program will be launched in Puerto Rico to end of the year.
Today Google revealed something else: the application that will help potential buyers to design their own smartphone Ara Project.
While I could repeat myself for all those who read the two articles on the blog yesterday, the Ara Project is a "modular" smartphone whose components, including the battery include the camera, storage , processor, and many other things can be exchanged at will, depending on the needs of the moment. You will also be able to replace the parts you want to change, rather than throwing your smartphone and buy a new one every year.

The application, called Ara Configurator, will allow users to choose their modules, and see how they will fit onto the endoskeleton smartphone . In other words, anyone will be able to design the outer shell of smartphone and see the specifications and price of simple gestures, reports The Verge.
Automated customization
Shell Maker API will allow Google to do all kinds of things on the outer shell of the smartphone, as does applying pictures on modules, and more. As shown by The Verge, the application seems to be more touch-friendly than the Motorcycle Maker Motorola, allowing the user to customize virtually every aspect of the device.
Jason Chua Google even suggested that the application could one day use the messages of your social networks to help automate the configuration process. For example, if you post a lot of pictures, you might need a better camera.
The Ara Project will be launched in the second half of 2015 in Puerto Rico , and in the meantime, Google is working on its third prototype for the project, called Spiral 3. The application Ara Configurator is not yet available for download. It will be launched this year when the equipment will be close to the day. You can check out the video to see how the application works.
