Objective

Project Tango is a smartphone and tablet project by Google's Advanced Technology and Projects group (ATAP), formerly a division of Motorola. The "Project Tango" prototype is an Android smartphone-like device which tracks the 3D motion of the device, and creates a 3D model of the environment around it.

Introduction

A device which tracks the 3D motion of the device, and creates a 3D model of the environment around it.

Introduced on 20th February 2014. by Google’s Advanced Technology and Projects group

(ATAP) A mobile device that shares our sense of space and

movement, that understands and perceives the world the same way we do.

External Features

An infrared projector. 4 MP RGB/IR camera 180º field of view fisheye (motion tracking) camera 7" LCD screen

Technologies Used

Motion Tracking Depth Perception Area Learning

Motion Tracking

Motion tracking allows a device to understand position and orientation using Project Tango's custom sensors. This gives you real-time information about the 3D motion of a device.

Depth Perception

Project Tango devices are equipped with integrated 3D sensors that measure the distance from a device to objects in the real world. Current devices are designed to work best indoors at moderate distances (0.5 to 4 meters). It may not be ideal for close range object scanning.

By combining depth perception with motion tracking, you can also measure distances between points in an area that aren't in the same frame.

Area Learning

Using area learning, a Project Tango device can remember the visual features of the area it is moving through and recognize when it sees those features again. These features can be saved in an Area Description File (ADF) to use again later.

Project Tango devices can use visual cues to help recognize the world around them. They can self-correct errors in motion tracking and relocalize in areas they've seen before.

Area Learning

Working Concept

The phone emits pulses of infrared light and records how it is reflected back allowing it to build a detailed depth map of the surrounding space.

3D camera-

It is a device that captures the 3D structure of a scene. Most cameras are 2D, meaning they are a projection of the scene onto the camera's imaging plane; any depth information is lost. In contrast, a 3D camera also captures the depth dimension (in addition to the standard 2D data).

The Future

Google Tango With NASAATAP over at Google announced that they will be partnering with NASA to build autonomous robots. Using the technology developed for Project Tango, the Spheres robot will be able to do tasks the astronaut previously had to do themselves.

Developers are proposing to connect technology in project tango with google glass. So you don’t have to carry a phone the device can simply model where you look

Conclusion

It makes life simple. Takes gaming to the next level This Technology can be awesome for differently abled

People.
