Just read this article on Google’s Project Tango which is a 3D Vision Chip embedded inside a phone. I’m pretty sure you have no idea what a 3D Vision Chip is because I had no clue what it was either. As a simple explanation, it’s the same technology behind a XBox Kinect that allows you the Kinect to track and map the physical world to a digital world so you can be given points for your sweet moves in Dance Central. And if you’re not an XBox fan, it’s the same technology they showed in Dark Knight where Batman could see the layout of a building through his mask or how they found the Joker because they mapped the entire city from cell phone signals. It’s a really cool project and the fact that they’re jumping to embedding it inside a phone is really exciting because that could mean we’ll see an Android handset with one of these fancy 3D Vision Chips in the not so distant futures (but still distant because this would probably be super expensive). And of course, there was talk about this and Google Glass and how if this was integrated into Glass, you could map an entire building simply by having someone walk around. I don’t know if this could realistically show things on the other side of a wall, it seems more realistic that it would just be able to map the physical items it can see and process, but who knows. I have no idea how you get your hands on something like this, but I would definitely be interested if they made this available to developers. I really do need to spend more time working on mobile apps…
