Google’s Project Tango Tablet demystified: stakes and opportunities for everyone.
Our mobile-driven and data-driven world henceforth also means: computer vision. When
it comes to computer vision, we talk inter alia, about:
·
optimized-cameras,
·
advanced sensor, sophisticated
algorithms and machine learning capabilities,
·
Understand space and motion
the way humans do,
·
enabling interior spaces to be
quickly mapped in three dimensions,
·
Allowing the creation of
applications that blend real and virtual objects,
·
large scale virtual and
augmented reality experiences,
·
integrated depth sensing
tools,
We also talk about advanced mobile graphics and performance. This leads
Connectikpeople.co soon #Retinknow® to congratulate the NVIDIA Tegra K1 mobile
processor.
This technology is at the heart of the Google’s new Project Tango , with the goal to make computer vision applications portable, affordable, and easy to
build.
Henceforth Game developers could, use it to paint a 3D virtual battlefield
in your living room. Real estate companies could build interactive, 360-degree
“fly-through” tours. Interior designers could scan a client’s home and test
design ideas, such as moving walls or inserting furniture. Retailers can guide
the user to specific places or products, and more.
For the developers, Connectikpeople.co soon #Retinknow®, recalls that, the Project Tango Tablet
Developers’ Kit aims to come with everything developers need.
The Tablet packs a 7-inch screen, 4GB of RAM, 128GB of storage. It will run
Google’s KitKat Android operating system. And it will support some of the most
recent features in the mobile market, like OpenGL 4.4. It will be available later
this year.
The Project Tango Tablet Developer’s
Kit will be priced around $1,000.
