开源android intel,Android

The delays over the Intel phablet itself are indeed a little concerning. I figure they're a dev kit like the Tango kit, though, and possibly done in smaller batches... That said, I haven't seen one in the wild and it's been a long time since they were originally announced.

But then there's this: we know Tango *works* - the devices are finicky and clearly dev kits not consumer hardware, but the Tango SDK delivers solidly on spatial awareness. Likewise, the front and rear facing RealSense sensors do a great job of generating data that would be useful to Tango and the SDK provides gesture and facial recognition that works quite well in its own right. I can get Leap Motion sensors to work like dynamite on an Android headset, so there's nothing intrinsically limiting about mobile processors and any of these types of data...

So I'm at a loss - we know Intel is more than capable of reliably producing robust hardware in general. We know they've built a decent SDK to support this hardware. We know they're capable of great things in the mobile space... And that they surely WANT to do a lot more with what is one of the few current spatial sensor arrays appropriate for this purpose and type of platform. So I await their response, I suppose, on whether I can sensibly imagine myself building this project to their sensors. The clock is ticking - once we announce, we can't start swapping out what sensors we're using or what SDKs we'll support - that's when it's set in stone.
