Google has uploaded a new video to its YouTube developer channel introducing OSCAR the Hangout Robot. It’s a robot that uses Google+ hangouts. I’m not exactly sure where Google is going with this, but here it is:

Here’s the video description:

OSCAR is a robot. He has seen better days. Recently he discovered hangouts and he really loves them. Please join OSCAR and the Google+ developer relations team for a special edition of Google Developers Live.

Apparently Google will demo OSCAR on Friday, August 3red at 10AM PST.

You know you’re at least a little curious.
