A phone to see the world

Since the last five years, the principal objective of the technology companies was the success of the pocket computer, and thereby, the permanent connection to the internet.

Now the objective of the following five years will be to open the phone to the world around us. That is the topic of the new Google project: Project Tango.

It´s like a mobile Kinect. Tango, is its actual version, is able to create a map of the room you are only moving the phone. It knows where is it on space and what is around it. Behind this project is Johnny Lee, one of the developers of Kinect. Google is going to begin the distribution of Tango to other companies to look for an utility for this functionality.

Nowadays, this sensors are quite big and complex, but in the future they will be smaller and will be able to be in a phone or another gadget.
