Lenovo Project Tango phone
Google's Project Tango is an attempt to map inside spaces, where GPS isn't granular enough, the way it has outside spaces. One major application for that is enabling your mobile phone to know which store you're standing in front of at the mall, or directions to find Ikea in a massive outlet store complex. Convenient! Of course, they're not doing this out of altruism. It's also to let them serve you up hyperlocalized ads, such as a discount on the electric scooter in the window that you're gazing at lovingly. And it would provide a gold mine of data for them. But I digress: Lenovo will be releasing the first Project Tango-enabled phone this summer for about $500, and it's got three cameras to sense color, depth and spatial layout.
