Just when you think Google is at it’s peak, they come back with yet another revolutionary Tech, Project Tango is all about making a new phone, both actual device and new OS, that allows you to capture the area around you, like 3D mapping, giving your phone it’s own virtual environment.
It also feels like this is like getting people to map out the world better than they have on their own, and in much more detail. Aside from a slight invasion of privacy(mapping the inside of say your bathroom) this could make google maps the foremost and utmost mapping solution in the universe(at least our universe)!!
Project Tango is an exploration into giving mobile devices a human-scale understanding of space and motion.
What if you never found yourself lost in a new building again? What if directions to a new location didn’t stop at the street address? Imagine playing hide-and-seek in your house with your favorite game character. Imagine competing against a friend for control over physical space with your own miniature army.
We hope you will take this journey with us. We believe it will be one worth traveling. To find out more, and apply for a development kit visit http://g.co/ProjectTango.
The future is awesome. Let’s build it together.
This is yet another extraordinary project where Google is changing the way we live in the world!!!
