Google, Lenovo team up for smartphone with 3D augmented realityJanuary 8, 2016 - 13:02 AMT PanARMENIAN.Net - Lenovo and Google announced a partnership Thursday, December 7 to create a new smartphone that makes use of a 3D augmented reality technology known as Project Tango, VentureBeat reports. Johnny Lee, a member of the Tango team at Google, said that the sense of space and motion provided by Tango will now be built into a mobile phone. “We can use the room around us to play games, and hide behind the furniture,” Lee said. “Project Tango creates a magical window.” To show what he meant, Lee did a demo in which he used Tango’s sensors to measure the exact height of a wall inside a room at the Aquaknox restaurant in the Venetian Hotel in Las Vegas, where the press event was held. The event was one of many at the 2016 International CES, the big tech trade show in Las Vegas this week. Jeff Meredith, vice president at Lenovo, said at the event, “We locked arms with Google to bring out a consumer device based on Tango.” Meredith said the goal was to create a mainstream device.
