> *About Project Tango:*
> The goal of Project Tango is to give a human-scale understanding of space
> and motion to mobile devices. This includes phones, tablets, and virtual

> labs, and industrial partners spanning many countries around the world to
> build on the last decade of research in robotics and computer vision,
> concentrating that technology into a mobile device. A Project Tango-enabled
> device combines data from a fisheye camera, 3D depth sensor, and IMU
> (gyroscopes and accelerometers) to track its own position and orientation
> in the world, while also building a 3D representation of its surroundings.
> This all happens on-device in real-time.
