Originally announced in February this year, Project Tango is Google’s endeavour to make mobile devices capable of seeing their surrounding in three-dimensions like we do. The company was until working only on a 5-inch smartphone but it seems to be adding a tablet as well to the project.
“The device would come with a 7-inch screen and will be equipped with two back cameras, infrared depth sensors and advanced software that can capture precise three-dimensional images of objects,” WSJ noted quoting un-identified sources.
While the devices being developed as a part of Project Tango are far from mass market products, Google plans to distribute a limited number of these to the devs to build an ecosystem of applications.
Not many details are available at this point but we hope to hear more at the company’s I/O 2014 developer event.
