Lenovo, Google join hands for Project Tango

Chinese computing giant Lenovo today said it has partnered with Google to launch a new smartphone that can see and map out surroundings with help from the US-based company's 3D technology named Project Tango.

To be available in summer 2016, the new smartphone turns the screen into a window that can overlay digital information and objects onto the real world.

Google's Project Tango is a technology platform that uses advanced computer vision, depth sensing, and motion tracking to create on-screen 3D experiences, allowing users to explore their physical environment via their device.
