I am super excited to have just ordered Google's Project Tango Developer Kit!

I hope that I can team up with a Boise State University intern and / or my web guru friends at www.TourRE.com that might be willing to help me implement this great tool for my real estate brokerage - Progressive Realty Corporation.

I thought about buying a Matterport camera, but the idea of lugging a $4,500 camera didn't really apeal to me.  However, this device is about the size of a tablet computer instead.

These devices are mind blowing in that is even being used by NASA to navigate the space station.  Check out details of that on YouTube here:  YouTube video of Project Tango - NASA Spheres  Watch the video and hear the Google Geeks talk about pushing their limits is pretty amazing.  Then, realizing that I am about to try to implement this technology with a fraction of their knowledge is a bit daunting.  "If you can do sensor fusing and depth perception . . . there are some truly unique opportunities". 

I hope I can help develop some of those opportunities to help me sell more homes in Boise!

I continue to be amazed by the new gadgets in the world of technological "gee-wizzary."  Absolutely wonderful stuff!

I have received my Project Tango Developer Kit but was surprised to find out that the digital mapping doesn't render via the video.  I was hoping I could use it for 3D home tours, but guess I will have to learn some programming to make that work.
