Project Tango was born a little over two years ago in a Google research lab. Now the company is gearing up to give the indoor mapping technology a big push starting next week at its I/O developers conference.
Google is set to unveil new updates to Project Tango, including improved software that lets it run on a bigger range of mobile devices, Bloomberg said. Google is also reportedly working on an online sharing feature, which would allow it to eventually stitch together one giant 3D map of every indoor space on earth. Google’s ultimate goal is to make Project Tango as ubiquitous as Google Maps, according to one anonymous insider.
