World's first tango-enabled AR smartphone
Lenovo revealed the first consumer smartphone powered by Tango technology, a set of sensors and software from Google that senses and maps its surroundings to make a host of cutting-edge smartphone augmented reality (AR) experiences possible.
This flagship device represents our combined efforts to promote mass acceptance for Tango, a technology that promises to become as prevalent as GPS. PHAB2 Pro transforms how we interact with our surroundings by enabling mobile devices to detect their position relative to the world around them, unlocking AR experiences via customized apps.
PHAB2 Pro uses three core technologies – motion tracking, depth perception and area learning – to sense its surroundings, enabling experiences ranging from AR gaming to virtual object placement. For example, with Tango technology PHAB2 Pro can begin to change the way people think about mapping indoor spaces to create new experiences like future AR museum tours via the GuidiGO app.
"The power of connectivity is transforming the PC from personal computing to CC – connected computing," said Yang, CEO, Lenovo. "We're helping lead this transformation by combining our expertise in hardware innovation with the critical backend cloud platform to help devices listen, see, sense and understand the world. Launching groundbreaking products like the PHAB2 Pro with Google's Tango technology and Moto's new Z Series smartphones with Mods in the heart of Silicon Valley shows we're committed to this strategic technology direction."
"The data center is set to become the foundation of an interconnected world. The explosion of data created from billions of devices and endpoints requires next-generation IT to deliver on its promise. Companies usually don't set out to build IT infrastructure to reach their business objectives but, increasingly, they are looking to an automated, software-powered infrastructure t o help them simplify their operations and deliver true business agility," said Sindhu. – TradeArabia News Service
