Pokemon Go will never stay as a wonder anymore. Finally, Google Tango is going to shake the web with its impressive augmented reality functions.
Though the company has hinted about their Tango projects months ago, it is only today that they launched the same. It will become first available on Lenovo Phab 2 Pro Smartphone.
What is Google Tango?
We use our eyes to find the position, measure the distance between you and the nearby objection (approximation indeed). Google thought why they shouldn’t integrate such technology to a gadget.
As a result came Google Tango.
Explaining the concept of Google Tango is really a hectic task. In fact, it is a door to the virtual world you never experienced.
Once it hits every smartphone, you can measure the distance, create 3D objects and deal with the virtual items as well.
Why the Buzz Now?
Google Tango was initially released about two years back. Why everyone started talking about it all of a sudden now?
Though the platform gets an initial release, it never made available for public until yesterday. Today, Lenovo launched Phab 2 Pro Smartphone, making it the first ever with Tango technology.

What’s Next?
Lenovo will start selling the phone. We can’t take it as a flagship device taking the chipset into consideration. And that force us to think the phone as an experiment rather than a full-fledged product.
Once Google Tango is well received, the search engine giant will allow other manufacturers to adapt their platform for other phones. We have to wait until next year to see it happens.
