Google is embarking on another ambitious smartphone project with Project Tango. The device is capable of mapping the world around the user to give mobile devices a sense of space and motion. TechCrunch got a firsthand demo from Matterport, one of the first companies to get the prototype from Google. The video above shows Matterport’s software integrated into the prototype. TechCrunch says the captures show “both color camera data and a full mesh of 3D data at once.”
The video below this shows more information about the project.
