Google Tango

Google Tango was a project developed by Google that aimed to bring advanced spatial awareness and 3D mapping capabilities to mobile devices. Launched in 2014, Tango used sensors and software to understand the environment around it, allowing devices to create detailed 3D maps of spaces and track their position in real time. This technology enabled applications like augmented reality, where digital images are overlaid on the real world. Although Tango was eventually discontinued, its innovations laid the groundwork for future developments in augmented reality and smartphone navigation.
