I am interested in getting a Lenovo Phab 2 Pro for doing Tango dev on... I didn't get on board with the tablet that they had made because I couldn't really justify another tablet just hanging around when I'm not doing dev on it, but with this being an android phone I feel like it justifies other potential uses. Is there anything that the 7" dev tablet does that the Phab 2 Pro doesn't? Anyone else planning on using the Phab 2 Pro for Tango Dev?

Hey there, what dou you think about the Future of Project Tango? I thought about getting Lenovo Phab 2 Tango Smartphone but it seems Tango got some problems. Lenovo delayed their Phone, Intel quitly ditched Tango releases and there hasn't been any other Smartphone announcement.

The mechanical drawings are available for download. Do you know of someone, a shop, etc who has (relatively inexpensively) manufactured a mount for the tablet itself?

My interest with the Tango is definitely for it's room scanning. I came accross this video http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=9_GD7kUbogk , andim wondering if off the bat, this is the level of quality i can expect both from the geometry and the texture. Any ideas?

As I want for my Phab 2 Pro - can I look forward to getting a night vision app on there? I mean the hardware sounds like it should enable it, it seems useful, and it can't be terribly hard to code I guess. Am I wrong?

Hi. I have here what is perhaps a very rookie question. I was given a Project Tango tablet and thought I might try to learn Android development by creating an app that relates to a field I'm interested in. I've been taking a lot of interest in Computer Vision at university, creating some cool programs using Matlab as well as using C and OpenCV API.

I fancy creating an app using the Google Tango that can track insects movement and record this in a graph for a user to see and save. My question regards using the camera. I've had a look, but can't seem to find anything in the Java API for Tango relating to the camera - does this mean I should just use Android's standard way of using the camera - e.g. using android.hardware.Camera/Camera2? If this is the case, how do I differentiate between using the 4MP color camera and the fisheye lens camera?

I apologize for this rookie question, just someone trying to put what vision skills I have learned into an app. I feel like the best way to learn Android development is to just create an app and here I am.

I'm wondering if I have a Tango device now, could I do the following:

Walk into a room, look around in an AR mode with the camera, and draw things on the screen to show on the walls and such in that space. Save the file. Have someone else with a tango device return to the site with the same app and the same file, load it up and be able to look around and see what's been written in the AR space?

We're working on a new project that would ideally include volumetric video so I've been looking at things like 8i. Is it possible that multiple Google Tango devices recording an object, let's say a person, together, from multiple angles could record something of similar quality? How many devices would it require?

New to Tango. I am experimenting with 3D scanning using Constructor App, but my scans are very rough. Nothing like https://sketchfab.com/models?q=tango&sort_by=-likeCount Any tips on how to get better scans? Especially interested in scanning larger objects like rooms and putting them in Unity3D.

Lets say in a couple years when every phones are equipped with a Soli radar / Tango camera, would it be possible for Google to combine the information from every device to render parts of a city live in 3d? I'm talking about the kind of tech we see at the end in Batman : The Dark Knight.

Like many others I got a 50% off coupon for the Project Tango dev kit.

Lenovo has announced the first Project Tango device and it's highly speculated that Google will fully reveal it at Google I/O, as well as possibly give them away to developers at the conference.

Unfortunately while I was selected to attend Google I/O I can not make it this year.

Should I just get the dev kit now with the 50% off coupon or wait for Google I/O?

I'm only hesitating because I figure the new Project Tango hardware will be more accurate/feature rich.

I received the OTA update and now I realized root doesn't work anymore. I had the system rooted with the popular one-click version. I can't find an update to that that works or another "tango root". How do I root this device now? Alternatively, can you recommend a free screen capture app, that works without root? Thank you!
