Project Tango Tablet to Run on Intel Chip, Feature Futuristic Augmented Reality Technology
The Project Tango tablet is among the few devices that aim to break the barriers of technology and achieve 'futuristic' innovations.
Last year, Google announced the very first Project Tango tablet, which runs on NVIDIA's Tegra K1 chipset. It boasts 4GB of RAM, and 128GB of internal storage, which are pretty serious specs for a tablet.
However, what made the tablet special is that it featured depth sensor, which allowed the device to detect depth of field not only in photography but also in certain games.

Unfortunately, WCCFTech reported that Google has been cutting down the price of the tablet, which is probably to attract more buyers.
This year, Google has partnered with chipmaker giant Intel in its upcoming Project Tango tablet. Based on the report, the new device will pack a 6-inch display and Intel's Cherry TrailX5 processor.
Moreover, the device will pack Intel's RealSense 3D technology. This allows the tablet to tinker with Augmented Reality. The Project Tango tablet will enable the user to simulate 3D images in his surroundings, and even interact with them through the slate.
During the Intel Developer Forum, Intel showcased what the Google Project Tango tablet can do. Intel's CEO Brian Krzanich himself praised the different features and capabilities of the tablet.
In an interview, Krzanich is proud that the slate 'breaks the limits of what a phone can do'.
"Robots have always been able to see, but RealSense is now giving them a 3D map of the world to navigate with," he said during the event.
Aside from Intel and NVIDIA, another rumored chipset maker, Qualcomm is reportedly working with Google for a Tango tablet as well.
In the report, the newest Project Tango developer kit will be available at the Google Store by the end of the year for $512.
