Google has asked developers to generate and submit their application ideas for Project Tango, in return for engineering support.
Google now finances the best Project Tango ideas and provide developers with engineering support so that they could introduce their device to the market. The search engine company wants application developers to generate ideas for gaming apps and utility based on the emerging computer vision technology of Project Tango.
Developers who succeed in submitting app ideas that successfully draw the attention of Google would receive engineering support and funding to expeditiously launch their devices to the market, the organization announced on January 8. As an additional bonus, the chosen apps would be featured on the recently announced Project Tango smartphone of Lenovo when it would be offered this year, says Project Tango’s technical project lead, Johnny Lee, in a blog to announce the application incubator program.
"All you need to do is tell us about your idea and explain how Project Tango technologies will enable new experiences," Lee wrote.
Google wants application developers, who want to share their proposed ideas, to include a venture schedule, storyboards, smartphone app screenshot, their ideas’ visual mock-ups, and other information. It is also interested in influencing developers to disclose their past app development experience and company details.
The deadline to submit ideas is February 15, and the company would be responding to developers by March 15, Lee stated. As it has described, Project Tango would provide a method to smartphones to find its physical location in relation to its surroundings at any particular time. The technology, for example, uses motion-tracking to the monitor orientation and movement of the device so it could identify in which part of a room it may be or whether facing down, up, or sideways.
Similarly, Project Tango product uses area-learning notions to notice the important physical features surrounding it so it is able to identify the place again. A depth sensor installed in the project’s products would enable them to detect an environment’s shape or objects found in it.
The perception-depth capacity would provide an opportunity to the project’s users to interact with their surroundings through new methods, such as the creation of their surroundings’ digital 3D mode or interactions between virtual and real objects, according to the search giant.
Lee gave a number of examples of apps that benefit from such capacities. One of those is an app made by home enhancement retailer Lowe’s that would let smartphone owners to visualize how a new refrigerator might become a part of their kitchen.
