Η Google just announced Project Tango, a prototype Android smartphone equipped with 3D sensors like those of Kinect. The device is already available in a limited team developers for further application development.
Η συσκευή χρησιμοποιεί αισθητήρες για την παρακολούθηση της κίνησης και τη δημιουργία ενός χάρτη του περιβάλλοντός σας.

TechCrunch reports that the prototype “seeks to bring mobile devices that seem to understand space and motion. .. enabling new and improved user experiences,”
