Google Announces Project Tango, a 5 inch Android Smartphone

 

 The goal of Project Tango is 

to understand of space and 

motion. The device is a 5 inch 

Android smartphone 

equipped with 3D sensors and  

other components to track motion and map the surroundings 

around you.

Google’s Advanced Technology and Projects (ATAP) group is 

the brains behind the project Tango.

 

Working:

The device in the Tango 

project will work by using a  

motion tracking camera 

and a sensor built into the 

backside of the prototype 

android smartphone. Once 

the smartphone is moved around, the sensors will detect  

everything in front of them, and as a result it will build a 

3D map of the surroundings using the data captured.

 

This project comes from Google’s Advanced Technology  

and Projects team, the same team which was associated 

with Motorola but Google decided to keep them, while 

they let go Motorola.
