A look inside Google's secretive ATAP group - YouTube


Paul Elementenko, who is responsible for the Ara project, has demonstrated Ara's actual machine.


This is Ara 's demo machine. Modules (parts) are translucent and the contents are completely transparent.


Actually, I started Android customized exclusively for Ara.


I confirmed that it started without any problems, and they are two of us. Mr. Elemenko said that "It is impossible to have a modular smartphone", but it showed that it is a phase that can be demonstrated in this way.


It is lovely that you freeze on time display.


Numerous modules are also announced. Elemenko announced, "We will provide 100 thousand dollars (about 10 million yen) to the development team of modules that can not be realized with existing smartphones," concluded the presentation. The launch of Ara is scheduled for January 2015.







From the Tango project, Mr. Johnny Lee, development manager, introduced a tablet terminal equipped with Tango technology.


This tablet terminal is scheduled to be offered for $ 1024 (about 100,000 yen) for developers by the end of 2014, and for consumers it will be released from LG in 2015.


You can see what Tango can do and how far it is evolving by looking at the following movie.

Tango tablet terminal created for developers.


A man who steps up the stairs while holding the tablet.


With this feeling, I scanned images taken on the camera and converted it to 3D.


By analyzing the video data ...


This space will become a three-dimensional model like this.


Tango is an awesome tool that can real-time 3D modeling objects and spaces in front of you.

The display shows the situation of 3D modeling of the circumstances around the car.


By using Tango's technology, you can drive and suddenly stop depending on circumstances that change quickly,Automatic driving carIt can also be applied.


If you combine dragon and Tango ... ...


It is possible to immediately grasp the situation at the dismantling site of the building and the disaster area.


If you let the cyclist use Tango ... ...


You can accurately 3D model the building exterior.



This is a 3D scan of the entrance of the building with Tango.


With Tango you can accurately measure the position without relying on GPS,Indoor mappingIt can be utilized to a great extent.


Tango to the quadruped walking robot ......


It is attached to a machine that can go up and down stairs ......



Attached to the planetary probe ... ....


It seems that there is no place to stay within the range of its use as it is attached to a robot.
