Helping those who want to get involved in the realm of Augmented Reality using both Google Project Tango and its C/C++ API.
Project Tango will be deprecated on March 1st, 2018, and will be moved to the googlearchive Github organization. Access to the Tango API is unaffected (since it's an on-device APIs), but we will no longer support and update Tango.
- Right now this is for the person who wants to get into Project Tango via the C/C++ API and found there was NO documentation anywhere else other then the official documentation (seriously, this repo was started out of frustration). The goal is to save you at least an hour of your life where we wasted five hours trying to find these simple answers.
- Project Tango is your best options to use true augmented reality technology with a platform that many people have (Android). The support for Tango on smartphones is slowly rolling out and a great way to make AR applications that many people can use.
- PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE correct it! I am no expert by any means and I am just trying to help with what I can. I would LOVE this to become a community built guide!
- Working with Tango for a while we find working with it comes down to knowing 3 major components:
- Since some people are coming into this knowing none and some just want to learn to use the Tango API, we divided the book into 3 Sections which consist of its internal chapters.
- A Glossary is also added to help with all the fun buzz words you will come across
- For those who want help setting up we also create a Stating a Project Section to help you start your own application
- Section 1 - Android NDK

- Section 2 - Graphics
- Everything you need to know before you start your journey.
