Smart Picture: an app that turns phone photos into measurements

Smartphones are getting smarter thanks to 3D technology from Google’s Project Tango. Smart Picture, the latest app using the platform, can create dimensions of any object in a room based on Google’s smartphone photos. The app literally transforms images into 3D data points.

The Austin-based startup has teamed with Google’s Project Tango, a smartphone with 3D mapping capabilities. Google could transform 3D imaging from a very expensive technology for specialists to useful, everyday tools if it can bring the costs of 3D cameras within the range of a smartphone.
