Android News: New app for Project Tango shows off 3D drawing and depth capabilities

Project Tango still has a long road before it will be publicly available, but thanks to some early development units we can see just how developers and apps can take advantage of the hardware. The hardware on Google’s project includes two computer vision processors, plus depth sensors and motion trackers, which Left Field Labs took advantage of to create a drawing app called Space Sketchr.

Space Sketchr lets you create drawings on a Project Tango tablet, which doesn’t sound that impressive. But the unique twist here is that it fully utilizes the depth capabilities that Project Tango offers, so you can create different images at different points in space, then rotate your view around to see your creation. In reality, the “drawing” really turns out more like a sculpture, but it’s very, very cool to see.

This is just one of the few apps that we’re seeing on the new platform, but it is available on the Play Store, if you happen to have a Project Tango tablet.
