Tango looks a lot like The Structure Sensor by Occipital - http://structure.io/
its not, structure.io is using Primesense sensor.
Tango appears to be doing structure from motion

#142Is anyone else getting 404? The requested URL /atap/projecttango/ was not found on this server. That’s all we know.
Same here...
Re: Project Tango
#143This is essentially putting a Kinect in your phone and hooking it up with hopefully high-level APIs. It may take 2-3 years to make it into regular phones, but when it does it will be huge. Apple's acquisition of PrimeSense (the makers of the 1st gen Kinect) means they're also working on this. To give you a real-world example: when I started BarSsense ( http://www.barsense.com ) the core problem was tracking the path…
Wow. Great app. I would have loved this app back when I was into oly lifting.

#145GPS tracking + complete 3D environment history of your presence.
I can imagine how NSA is excited :)

#146"Imagine measuring your room by just walking around in it." Yes, and imagine transmitting each of those footsteps in real time back to Google, so they can have a map of your room, too, in case they, or other parties, ever need it. I was just having a discussion yesterday with a friend who works at Google about what data they store when you query their search engine. Every single keystroke, including backspaces, is st…
It has "Java, C/C++, as well as the Unity Game Engine" API end points, and if it's fast enough to be input to a game, it isn't touching the cloud. I think you're misreading this. There may someday be a Google product that reads in a full 3d scan of your surroundings, but it's not this product. It's a sensor and some APIs. Until a device is actually released that requires you to upload all data, it seems premature to…
Maybe it isn't communicating with Google servers in real-time, but I'd be shocked if Google wasn't uploading all the data gathered after the fact.
> Until a device is actually released that requires you to upload all data
No, no, it won't be required... it will just be on by default, and the opt-out will be buried in a submenu hidden under the "Advanced Developer Options" section.

19 second mark shows they are using monocular structure from motion.
Some Japanese Uni has a working solution(HDL inside FPGA) doing same thing too http://hackaday.com/2014/01/12/autonomous-quadcopter-fits-in...
you can try it yourself, code is on github https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E35xbo3r8rA https://github.com/nymanjens/ardrone-exploration

#148This should be interesting to the guys who made Minecraft Reality. http://13thlab.com/ http://minecraftreality.com/
So how long will it be before someone can take a picture of a person and find all the similar matches on Tinder modulo any profile preferences and desired attributes? Maybe save it for later and use it in a completely different location? In other words, take a picture and then have an app that finds as many matches for that person all while applying any filter preferences the user has in his or her own profile. One person may see exciting matching opportunities. Others may use these modern technology aids in becoming the ultimate modern predator. It's one thing when you want to find a great date. It's quite another when someone uses it to find your son or daughter.
Re: Project Tango
#149Earlier quoted context omitted.
The solution is to stop centralized data collection. The reason it doesn't happen is because corporations don't like giving up control of data that they can keep to themselves and store forever. Many of these apps could run clientside and access the cloud solely for information, but that doesn't fit in with the Google vision of organizing the world's information and making it useful for selling products and services…
Solved then: I see nowhere in this that says that this device is centralizing any data.
sarcasm?
Re: Project Tango
#150I'm looking forward to the first first-person shooter built on Tango. E.g. a ghostbusters game in which you walk around in your own house, the ghosts only being visible through your Tango.
Yes, mapping geometry/mesh to real world structures/skylines/halls/rooms of real locations, geolocation, orientation of device and local structural data. That is when augmented reality really takes over. We may even see a time when looking at something without some sort of augmented view is strange. Tango seems to be going right at that. Personally I cannot wait to be chased by Cloverfield like monsters/creatures alo…
If those are just the ads, what are the movies? Holodecks?
