[Bldg-sim] Google Project Tango

[AChapin at sriregistrar.com]

Can someone with the knowledge and experience necessary to build a 
smartphone application allowing a person to walk through an existing 
building and create a 3D model with Google's new Project Tango phone go to 
this website, http://www.google.com/atap/projecttango/, and request a 
prototype dev kit?

If you haven't watched the video yet, you should check it out (
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qe10ExwzCqk). This would be a great tool 
for creating existing building 3D geometry models. Maybe it could even be 
accurate enough to recognize light fixtures in the ceiling/on the wall and 
the app could ask you to input the fixture wattage while you are in the 
building.

I'm hopeful that this technology will be able to help the AEC industry. 
What do you think?
