Google has unveiled a prototype smartphone with “customised hardware and software” that enables it to create 3D maps of a user’s surroundings.
\nThe device’s sensors allow it make over 250,000 3D measurements every second and update its position in real-time.<\/p>\n

Google said potential applications may include indoor mapping, helping the visually-impaired navigate unfamiliar indoor places unassisted and gaming.<\/p>\n

It has offered 200 prototypes to developers keen to make apps for it.<\/p>\n

Google said its Advanced Technology and Projects (ATAP) unit developed the phone as part of a project called Project Tango with help from researchers at various institutions.<\/p>\n

“We are physical beings that live in a 3D world. Yet, our mobile devices assume that physical world ends at the boundaries of the screen,” the firm said.<\/p>\n

“The goal of Project Tango is to give mobile devices a human-scale understanding of space and motion.<\/p>\n

“We’re ready to put early prototypes into the hands of developers that can imagine the possibilities and help bring those ideas into reality,” it added.<\/p>\n
