Google announced a new initiative on Thursday that aims to bring 3-D sensor technology into a new series of prototype Android smartphones.
Dubbed "Project Tango," the new venture involves a Google-built five-inch phone that includes sensors that track the movement of the device while modeling the space and landscape around it. In essence, it builds 3-D renderings of its surroundings that, perhaps one day, could be used in the mapping of building interiors, according to Google.
