Google Offering Developers More Tools to Tango

Google today made a tablet available to developers interested in its Project Tango. Google launched Project Tango in February, which is meant to help teach devices to sense and map the three-dimensional world around them. Google kicked the project off with a special Android handset equipped with special sensors. Today, Google is expanding Project Tango to include an Android tablet made by Nvidia with Nvidia's Tegra K1 processor on board. Developers can use the Project Tango Tablet and associated SDK to make applications that track full 3D motion and capture surfaces in the environment. Google said developers can register for one of the tablet kits, which costs $1,024 and will be available later this year. Google hopes the 3D-sensing smartphone and tablet will help developers create rich and immersive applications for Android devices.
