                AnonD-230821, 30 May 2015what is 3D-sensing camera for?Project tango is all about creating a virtual model of the 3d space actually around you. So the camera and other sensors sense the walls, floor and roof and their distances, and put it on the phone. So when you move around, the phone can tell where you are relative to the walls and everything. Huge applications in the vr department.
