Google's 3D sensing tablets coming to consumers next year

Google has been working for some time with universities, research labs, developers and other tech companies to develop the capabilities to map and sense the world in three dimensions via a smartphone or tablet. Dubbed Project Tango, it was officially announced in February, and the idea is that it will give devices a sense of their place in the world akin to our own and therefore open up a wealth of possibilities for new smartphone and tablet uses and features. For example, using Google Maps on a normal smartphone will get you to the front door of an office building. So it came as a little bit of surprise when Google announced that it was working with LG and planned to offer the technology in consumer tablets early in 2015.
