Google struts out Project Tango tablet for developers

The company is bringing its 3D mapping and sensing initiative, originally announced only for smartphones, to tablets.



                                                         Google's Project Tango tablet

Google on Thursday took the wraps off a tablet that has 3D mapping and sensing capabilities, and plans to make the device available to software developers in late June.

The gadget is in connection with Google's Project Tango, an initiative to push the bounds of virtual experiences and realistic mapping on mobile devices. The project, announced in February, launched originally with only a smartphone prototype.

The 7-inch tablet will cost $1,024, and will feature a software kit that will give developers tools to build applications with the technology. Those attending the company's annual developer confab, Google I/O, in San Francisco later this month will have the first shot at purchasing the tablet.

The move comes as more technology giants focus on 3D and advanced platforms. Apple bought 3D sensor company PrimeSense last November. While not focused on tablets and smartphones, Facebook bought Oculus, the maker of virtual reality goggles, for $2 billion in March.

Google said the hardware was made in close collaboration with chipmaker Nvidia, and will include the company's new Tegra K1 mobile processor. The tablet will come full of sensors, and have a motion-tracking camera and 128 gigabytes of storage.

Project Tango comes out of Google's Advanced Technology and Projects group, a skunkworks division that came to Google as part of its acquisition of Motorola Mobility in 2012 for $12.5 billion. (Google has since agreed to sell Motorola's handset business to Lenovo, the Chinese PC maker.) The company said the overarching goal of Tango is to give mobile devices a "human-scale understanding of space and motion."

In March, Google distributed 200 Project Tango smartphones to developers, but Google is aiming to get the tablets out to a wider audience of developers, according to Engadget. Aside from the benefits of having more screen real estate, the perk of the tablet is the level of computing power afforded by Nvidia's processor -- giving developers more horse power to dream up creative applications for the software.
