"We are physical beings that live in a 3D world. Yet, our mobile devices assume that physical world ends at the boundries of the screen. The goal of project tango is to give mobile devices a human-scale understanding of space and motion" says Johnny Lee, Project Lead of ATAP.
Everything from leading the blind to playing a room-filling virtual game is possible with a device like this. Directions would no longer have to stop at the street - you could find the exact room your looking for in your local 50 story office building by following 3D-mapped directions. Figure out how to embed all this into Google Glass, and the future truly would be here.
4000 prototypes are being pumped out this very second, and will be shipping to devolpers and alpha testers. You can see all the details, as well as apply for a developer kit at the project's website: http://g.co/projecttango
