Why Project Tango ?

Humans live in 3D physical world. But mobile devices today assume that physical world ends at the boundaries of the screen.

Goal: Is to give mobile devices, a human scale understanding of space and motion.

The Beginning …

Google’s Advanced Technology and Projects group (ATAP) has been working with universities and research groups to harvest ten years of research results on Computer Vision and Robotics to create a unique mobile phone.

Project Tango

This Project is under construction and it's belong to Google.

Google and 16 other companies are involved in this project

The Smart Phone…. For this project Google have come up with

the new Smartphone This devices has unique ability to sense 3D

motion The sensors allow the phone to make over

a quarter million 3D measurements every second

External Features

An infrared projector. 4 MP RGB/IR camera 180º field of view fisheye (motion

tracking) camera 5" LCD screen

Inside the Device Snapdragon 800 quad core CPU with 2 GB LPDDR3 RAM Two Movidius Myriad 1 computer vision co-processors. Two AMIC A25L016 16 Mbit low voltage serial flash memory

ICs 9-axis gyroscope/accelerometer/compass MEMS motion

tracking device (built by InvenSense) multimode multiband power amplifier module (by Skyworks) Capri PS1200 3D sensor (built by PrimeSense)

Inside the Device SanDisk  64 GB iNAND flash memory Bosch BMX055 Inertial Measurement Unit Qualcomm PM8941 Power Management IC Qualcomm PM8841 Power Management IC

Movidius Myriad-1 Computer Vision Processor

The Key feature of this device is the Myriad 1 computer vision processor.

Previous procesors consume much power, so they cannot be used in mobile devices.

Extremely Powerful: Can Process data and create 3D model of the environment in couple of seconds.

What it can Do…

Smartphone is equipped with sensors which make more than 1.4 million measurements per second, updating the position and rotation of the phone.

How It Works… 4MP RGB/IR camera : can capture full color images and detect

IR reflections. IR Depth Sensor : Used to measure depths by Blasting an IR

pulse Tracking Camera : To track objects

3 Basic operations1. In real time can map depth of environment

2. Measure depth accurately using IR pulse

3. Create a 3D model of the environment real time

VIDEO OF 3 BASIC OPERATIONS

Is This just a device that can model cool 3D environment ?

OR Is it something else?

Applications

Indoor Mapping and NavigationIt Tracks position all around the world and

also make a 3D map of that

Applications

Game Development

Applications

Aid For Visually Impaired Personals

Applications

Shopping

The Future…

The Future

Google Tango With NASA ATAP 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.

The Future 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.
