Google's Project Tango is a smartphone with sensors to map the world around you Google's just announced Project Tango, a 5-inch Android smartphone prototype equipped with Kinect-like 3D sensors and other components to track motion and map your surroundings. Unlike other 3D-sensing devices including Kinect, Project Tango includes the Myriad 1 vision processor from Movidius, which allows for advanced motion and depth tracking without sucking a ton of power. Available to a limited group of developers today, the handset could enable enhanced indoor navigation and immersive gaming, among other things. Google's Advanced Technology and Projects (ATAP) group is the brains behind Tango, and ATAP head Johnny Lee (formerly of the Microsoft Kinect team) said that the prototype "strives to give mobile devices a human-like understanding of space and motion ... enabling new and enhanced types of user experiences."

Structure Sensor: Capture the World in 3D by Occipital The Structure Sensor gives mobile devices the ability to capture and understand the world in three dimensions. With the Structure Sensor attached to your mobile device, you can walk around the world and instantly capture it in a digital form. This means you can capture 3D maps of indoor spaces and have every measurement in your pocket. You can instantly capture 3D models of objects and people for import into CAD and for 3D printing. If you’re a developer, Structure gives you the ability to build mobile applications that interact with the three dimensional geometry of the real world for the very first time. The Structure Sensor has been designed from the ground up to be mobile. The Structure Sensor has a mobile-optimized range that begins at 40 centimeters and stretches to over 3.5 meters. Battery-powered The Structure Sensor has its own onboard power supply that provides up to 4 hours of active use, and 1000+ hours of standby. Anodized aluminum chassis Dual infrared LEDs 1. 2. 3. 4.

Occipital’s New Structure Sensor Turns Your iPad Into A Mobile 3D Scanner The folks at Boulder/San Francisco-based Occipital are very much software people — the company’s RedLaser app was a big hit in the early App Store days before the team sold it to eBay, as was 360 Panorama before iOS 6′s Panorama feature took some of the wind out of its sails. Their roots may be in software, but now the team is trying something very, very new. Occipital just launched a Kickstarter campaign for its very first hardware project: the Structure, a portable 3D sensor that straps to the back of your iPad that should ship by next February. Update: Wow, the Occipital team has blown past its $100K funding goal in just over three hours. “It took us out of our comfort zone,” CEO Jeff Powers admitted. Those sleepless nights seem to have paid off. The really astonishing bit is how quickly the Structure works in capturing all of this data. That breadth of those demo apps speaks to the sort of ecosystem that Powers hopes will rise up around the Structure in the weeks and months to come.
