After a trip filled with lasting memories, it can be a hassle for some people to painstakingly sift through their collections of photos and videos. Google offers some assistance to its users with the launch of Google+ Stories, an automated tool able to compile your media into online presentations – with minimal effort on your part.



Stories is essentially an updated version of Google's Auto Awesome movie app, but boasts more features. With Stories, Google filters your image and movie files and compiles them into a personalized slideshow, hosted on the Internet. Additionally, Stories includes maps of places you've visited (using your devices' location services), and any hashtags that accompany the featured photos. Like any Web-based slideshow, you are free to navigate through the presentation with a click or scroll of your mouse, and you can share the link with friends and family instantly.



Google Stories follows Adobe Voice's example of making you the center of this presentation, reflecting on experiences you've personally undergone. On Google's official blog, Google's Director of Product Management Anil Sabharwal demonstrated how Stories works by showing a slideshow and  video (created using Google+ Movies) featuring one of his recent family vacations. In the short video, you can see Sabharwal's daughter taking her first bike ride.
