GOOGLE TANGO TABLET COMMING SOON...

Google may have a new tablet in the works, but don't expect another iteration of its Nexus slate. According to reports, this device will be equipped with two rear cameras, infrared depth sensors, and advanced 3D imaging software.
Under development as part of Google's Project Tango (smartphone pictured), about 4,000 prototypes of the 7-inch tablet are expected to begin production next month, and may be released ahead of June's annual I/O developer conference, the Wall Street Journal said.
Citing unnamed sources briefed on the company's plans, the Journal said that Google will initially produce a small quantity of tablets to hand out to developers.
The only catch: The technology in the slate may be too advanced for most programmers, who are used to building apps for smartphones and less mechanical tablets. Only recently have people begun testing wearables, and few have entered the realm of 3D imaging.
That hasn't stopped Google from trying, though. In February, the company unveiled Project Tango, an effort to "give mobile devices a human-scale understanding of space and motion" via robotics and computer vision.
The prototype phone, which launched in March, comes loaded with sensors and software "designed to track the full 3D motion of the device, while simultaneously creating a map of the environment," according to the Tango team.
Google launched with only 200 development kits, many of which were allocated to navigation, mapping, gaming, and sensor data processing projects.
The prototype sports a 5-inch LCD display, with a Snapdragon 800 quad-core CPU and 2GB of LPDDR3 RAM, plus 64GB of internal storage, and a microSD slot for even more.
It also boasts a 9-axis accelerometer/gyroscope/compass, and a depth-sensing array, which includes an infrared projector, 4-megapixel rear shooter, and 180-degree field-of-view fisheye rear camera.
There is no word on how many or which of the same components may be transferred into the rumored Project Tango tablet.
Google did not immediately respond to PCMag's request for comment.
