Project Tango

Project Tango: Google has reportedly produced 4000 prototypes of small form factor tablet with an advanced 3D imaging camera. Project Tango isn’t just about 3D. It looks at 3D depth sensing and motion detection. Project Tango devices can measure depth data, tell how far objects are in a room, if they are moving closer or stationary and how much space they occupy.

Project Tango is all about interacting with real world objects. So its applications range from personal safety, to navigation, to public spaces. It’s built for Android tablets and smartphones. Google has said that it’s building Project Tango for mobile devices, which allows it to tap into pretty much every real-world place. But we didn’t hear any mention of Project Tango during the I/O keynote. Perhaps Google will hold a separate event later on to discuss this.
