The Tango Project is an effort by Google to develop smartphones and tablets that use cameras and sensors to build 3D models of their environment and virtual applications that can interact with objects in the real world.
Until now, Google has been working on the Tango project internally, while offering tablets Tango and development kits smartphones at high prices. But the company says it is working with LG to bring the technology to consumers in early 2015 .
Thus, the first device of Project Tango is an LG tablet , and ... that's about all we know at the moment. On the specifications of the current model for developers and wealthy individuals, it will ship under the hood a Tegra processor Nvidia K1, 4 GB RAM, 128 GB of internal storage, and a screen with a resolution of 1080p . It runs on Android 4.4 and offers a KitKat Wi-Fi connectivity, Bluetooth LE, and 4G LTE. For connectivity, there is a Micro HDMI and a USB 3.0 port. However, what really distinguishes the competition are the two cameras embedded with a special angle of 13 degrees for 3D mapping, as well as a depth sensor at the rear of the unit.
As Tango Project Developer kits, this means that the Korean automaker will probably sell a range of high-end devices associated with various sensors and cameras to track the depth of field, motion, and other environmental variables.
Although the variant dedicated to the consumer is not likely to offer the same specifications as those mentioned above, as much heat to maintain the low price, but since it will be a niche device, do not be surprised if many these specifications remain.
When the tablet will arrive in stores, Google will work with third-party application developers for almost a year, suggesting that we could have some interesting applications and games that make use of its 3D modeling capabilities as an application that might help you visualize what your kitchen could look like after a renovation or a game that allows you to embed zombies in a virtual scenery in the real world.
