Flow App for Rio Olympic Games

Both Qualcomm and Intel are supporting Google’s Project Tango, which will make Android phones capable of 3-D mapping. The impending Apple Primesense camera will offer similar capabilities. Moreover, Google has announced that it will not only give Google Maps three dimensions but also compile scans of building interiors.

The ability to literally scan a scene with your phone’s camera and have the images automatically stitch themselves together in three dimensions, or to quickly scan a person. I was fully scanned this way by Intel in a matter of minutes – will change the way we interact with our environments and our social networks. In the future, witnesses at a major event will be able to document it with their mobile phones in a way that will allow others to step inside the scene – giving people an instantaneous understanding of the event that no video or photograph could provide.

We’re just now coming to grips with all the communication possibilities of these spatial experiences. They’re going to enhance every aspect of our lives and give us access to a whole new way of understanding the world.
