When users start a hangout, they may click on the “Apps” tab on the top left to gain access to the featured and recently used apps. The applications introduced today are an introductory set of apps, just a beginning to new apps being evolved and shared over Google+.

  • Google Effects, for trying on headwear, eyewear or facial hair
