Google's Project Tango

Google's Project Tango is a very exciting new technology that is attempting to bring 3D capture capabilities to smartphones and tablets. Matterport is one of Google's partners on this technology, and I'm very excited to see where it goes.

From the video in the link above, you can see that the Project Tango device produces maps with very low resolution when compared to the Matterport camera. However, that is expected as this technology is only just now becoming available on smartphones and tablets. This could be the beginning of 3D Capture technology becoming something we use in everyday life. Exciting stuff.
