Google Project Tango 3D mapping tablets

Google Project Tango 3D mapping tablets to arrive in June

Google’s Project Tango smartphone will be getting a 7-inch tablet sibling in June with the same cutting-edge tech that lets you create a 3D map of your surroundings. 

According to the Wall Street Journal, the 7-inch tablet will be packed with “two back cameras, infrared depth sensors, and advanced software that can capture precise three-dimensional images of objects."

The tablet comes from Google’s Project Tango, from which we’ve already seen a prototype smartphone with the same tech that allows you to create a 3D map of your surroundings.

The technology could be used for improved indoor navigation for the visually-impaired, to maneuver through unfamiliar places and even in more immersive gaming.

Google is said to be releasing 4000 of the tablets to developers at the end of June after its developer conference.
