A mobile app version of Google’s Chrome Experiments, the first 20 submissions include camera projects and Android Wear apps, built using tools including the Android SDK and NDK, Android Wear, the IOIO board, Cinder, Processing, OpenFrameworks and Unity.

All apps in the gallery will be open source.

“We set out to find a way to celebrate the creative, experimental Android work of developers everywhere and inspire more developers to get creative with technology and code,” said a post on the Android developers blog.
