Demonstration Project Tango from Google: the possibility of 3D-mapping

Project Tango prototypes of devices only recently demonstrated its ability to scan 3D-space. However, another company working with mobile sensor devices, also showed the results of their work.

Matterport already developed its own camera for 3D-mapping, but this time the company has demonstrated the capabilities of its software installed on the device Project Tango.

In the video you can see the process of scanning the room with the formation of three-dimensional model and full-color overlay textures. Subsequently, these data can be used for a virtual visit recorded spaces all comers.

According to CEO Matterport Bill Brown (Bill Brown), while that generated three-dimensional space does not look perfect, because it is used as a sensor 4-megapixel camera mounted on the prototype from Google. However, the very three-dimensional grid is created with the best quality, which is still able to achieve his company.





Below you can see a demonstration of the system last year Matterport, built on the basis of 3D-modeling technology PrimeSense.

Google does not tell you what is the expected cost of consumer devices with support for Project Tango. At the same time, the cost of the system from Matterport is $ 4500 (pre-order). Your product manufacturer intended primarily for architects and interior designers. Google is initially sees the purpose of his project to create three-dimensional map of the world in "microscale".
