Remember Google's Project Tango smartphone, that was announced back in the past February, which is basically based on tracking full 3D motion of your device, alongside creating a map of your surroundings. As said by the manufacturer, the units run over their own Android operating system, which includes development API's that will update the handset's current position, orientation, and depth graphed data to applications written in Java, C/C++ and Unity Game Engine.
The goal of Project Tango is to give mobile devices a human-scale understanding of space and motion.
Well, Google's ATAP or Advanced Technologies and Projects department has taken their next step and made an official announcement yesterday, introducing their brand new seven-inches tablet to their Project Tango development proceedings. According to the American's the new slate will be available as a developers kit, depending upon regions and carriers, that will set you back for about 1024 United States Dollars, for 'heavy brained' or serious hardcore developers, later this year.
The new Project Tango Tablet from the search giant has got really high-end specifications (when we say high-end we really mean it), featuring a NVIDIA Tegra K1 processor with 128 gigabytes of internal storage, four gigabytes of Random Access Memory and a 120 degrees front facing camera. On the back, you will find three different sensors, one being a four megapixels shooter, another one a motion tracking camera, while the last one being a integrated depth sensor. The tablet also packs Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 4.0 LE (Low Energy) and 4G LTE network support.
