Tango: See more with a new kind of phone

But, for the past three years, the Project Tango team has been working to help devices understand physical space and motion more like people do. Today we’re taking the next step with the first Tango-enabled phone (Lenovo’s PHAB2 Pro ). We’re also graduating the effort from Project Tango to, simply, Tango.

Tango helps you answer a new set of questions about your world through specialized hardware and apps. Some of the coolest apps that work with Tango are the ones that overlay digital objects on top of your surroundings. For example if you’re shopping for a new bed, Tango lets you view your bedroom through your phone and visualize different options?even walk around the virtual furniture like it’s actually there.

With a Tango-enabled phone, you also have a toy box, a solar system, and a pet shop in your pocket. You can play with a huge set of dominoes, explore the planets, defend yourself from invading aliens, or feed your virtual dog?all through your phone. The best part is that you don’t have to clean up afterwards.?

Whether you’re shopping, playing, or just finding your way around, Tango helps you explore the world in a new way. There are already lots of? great apps ?exploring these new capabilities, and as Tango finds its way into more devices, there will be more to come. If you’d like to learn more, visit the? Tango website , or tune in to? Nat and Lo ?for a behind-the-scenes look at Tango.
