Google kill Tango augmented reality platform

in technews •  7 years ago 

“Thank you to our incredible community of developers who made such progress with Tango over the last three years,” the company said in a tweet. “We look forward to continuing the journey with you on ARCore.”

Tango support will cease March 1, 2018.

Google will now focus on ARCore. Even though ARCore can’t see in 3D, it works with the hardware already on phones. No special sensors or cameras are needed to make use of the software. Machine learning is used to accomplish the same tracking that Tango required hardware for, which gives ARCore a leg up. Google has made so much progress on ARCore that its already deploying some special AR apps, like the camera stickers on Pixel.
