‘as we walk through our daily lives, we use visual cues to
navigate and understand the world around us. we observe the size and
shape of objects and rooms, and we learn their position and layout
almost effortlessly over time. this awareness of space and motion is
fundamental to the way we interact with our environment and each other.
we are physical beings that live in a 3D world. yet, our mobile devices
assume that physical world ends at the boundaries of the screen.’ – johnny lee and the ATAP-project tango team.
over the past year, ATAP google
has worked with universities, research labs, and industrial partners
from around the world to harvest research relating to the advancement in
robotics and computer vision, concentrating the gathered knowledge and
technology into a unique mobile phone. known as ‘project tango’, the development proposes to give mobile devices a human-scale understanding of space and motion. Continue.
the intelligent project tango platform is focused on the exploration of what might be possible in a mobile device;
the current prototype features a 5 inch display containing customized
hardware and software designed to track the full 3D motion of the
smartphone, while simultaneously creating a map of a users’ environment.
the built-in sensors allow the phone to make over a quarter million
three-dimensional measurements every second, updating its position and
orientation in real-time, combining that data into a single 3D map of
the space around you.
