Google Project Tango Developer Tablet Available For $1024

Google on Thursday released its Project Tango Tablet Developers kit, designed to enable developers create 3D applications, computer vision and advanced sensing tools.

The device will be sold by Google in late June for $1,024.

The tablet incorporates cameras optimized for computer vision, advanced sensor fusion algorithms and integrated depth sensing tools, as well as the NVIDIA Tegra K1 mobile processor. As a result, it can understand space and motion the way humans do, enabling interior spaces to be quickly mapped in three dimensions, allowing the creation of applications that blend real and virtual objects.



Project Tango devices include development APIs to provide position, orientation, and depth data to standard Android applications written in Java, C/C++, as well as the Unity Game Engine.

The Project Tango Tablet Developers' Kit packs a 7-inch screen, 4GB of RAM, 128GB of storage, motion tracking camera, integrated depth sensing, WiFi, BTLE, and 4G LTE (availability will depend on region and carrier). It will run Google's KitKat Android operating system. And it will support some of the most recent features in the mobile market, like OpenGL 4.4.

Like Google Glass, the search giant noted that the Project Tango tablet development kit is "not a consumer device and will be available in limited quantities.
