Honestly, I'm not even sure where to start with this one today. So, you
probably saw our last sponsored video from Lenovo on the yoga book. If you
didn't, it's right around there. But, uh, here we
go. Okay, so let's clear some space.
Raor core, you're out. MacBook Pro, you're
out. Moneycat. Money cat's in. So, Fab 2 Pro.
What is this thing? It's a phone. It's a tablet. It's a fabt. It's right in the
name. So, it's got a Snapdragon
processor, a static cling screen covered thingaboo. It's got
64 gigs of storage. It's got uh AC
Wi-Fi. It's got a 4,50 milliamp battery.
It's got a massive 1440 screen and Oh,
look at that. Would you look at that?
Now, would you look at
that? It's a headphone jack, right? But
moving around to the back, this is where we get into the really interesting
stuff. So, right here is a 16 megapixel camera. 16 megapixels RGB, which
basically just means it's a camera, but no, no, there's other stuff. So, this
guy right here is a depth camera. This
is a flash. So, the flash is normal, too. These are the normal parts. Then,
there's a fisheye camera and a fingerprint. Okay. A lot of phones have
those, too. Okay. So, every other thing back here is unusual. Let's go ahead and
get this baby fired up. Wow, that is a really fast fingerprint sensor. It is
actually registering them that fast. Discover Tango. An introduction to the
Tango
experience. Tango. That must be an OLED display.
Actually, I can't tell. Oh crap. IPS.
Oh, wow. Those are really deep blacks. Whoa. Check this out.
So the idea is that it uses a combination of the sensors and
cameras to figure out spatially where
Why is there like a goat or something in my office?
It's not a deer. I don't know what it is.
Okay, now I'm really confused. These are
like wolf deer raccoon things.
Whoa, look at him go. Oh, he stopped.
What a loser. Loser.
Wrong. Oh, whoa. That's like a window into the like real world
again. Whoa. And we're back to the real world. Okay, so back to the cameras
again. Why do they need all these cameras and sensors for Google Tango?
Well, they need sensors that are capable of motion tracking. So, this is
obviously to help the device understand its orientation in physical space. They
need multiple cameras that allow Tango to recognize the world around the device
by utilizing visual cues. This helps to self-correct for errors in the motion
tracking. And it needs the depth sensor
that allows Tango enabled devices, right now this is the only one, of course, to
understand the shape of the world around it. So that way you can interact with
the world around you in all new ways utilizing the virtual world created by
Tango. So uh now that we've got that all
sorted out, let's go try it, shall we? So the idea is that you trash the
castle.
Okay, fantastic.
Now, what happens? That's it. I only get one
shot. I mean, that's okay. I got three stars, I guess. But I want to go see it.
Check that out. That's what you can't do in Angry
Birds. Get in close and inspect the
havoc you've caused. Oh my goodness. There's so many dead people in that
castle. You just can't see it cuz you don't have the angle for it. But trust
me, there's lots of dead people on the It's actually a
savage, savagely realistic
game. Size
matters. Bigger pieces are harder to knock over than smaller ones. All right,
I'm too close to the damn island. You're too close to me. Okay, this time I'm
going to strategically
attack that spot right there. But I'm going to pull it back harder because I
think that was my problem last time. Oh, I'm sitting in the garbage can. This is
fine. Everything about what's going on right now is
fine. What? Hey, where'd you go? Oh. Oh,
look at him. There he goes. Can I pet it? I actually don't know. Oh, yes. I
think so. Oh, yeah. Yeah, I got you. Whoa. There we go. Oh. Oh, yeah. We got
a huge dog. Giant puppy. His eyes are so soulless and
empty. Ah, he's coming for us.
Okay, so new idea. Let's go on the green screen and try the dinos among
us. An experiment in augmented reality
from the American Museum of National History. National
Natural. That's not a dino. That's a
penguin. Can you stop poking me with the camera?
Jeez. Okay. Velociraptor.
Oh, that's not nearly as big as I thought it
would be. No, no, no, no. That's what like real raptors are like. They were
like turkeys. Really? Yeah. So, they're not like
Jurassic Park. I mean, there is a dinosaur like that, but it wasn't the
Velociraptor. Interesting. You know, I've heard about this this whole thing
where like there's speculation that dinosaurs were much more closely related
to birds and probably had feathers versus being like reptiles with scaly
skin like we thought they were when we were kids. Mind you, when I was a kid,
we thought Brontosaurus was a thing. So, that's how out of touch my generation
is. Okay, do
something. Oh, can I make it bigger?
Velociraptor was a fierce predator. probably had large
wings.
Interesting. That's really
cool. I'm just going to put all the dinosaurs
around. We're just going to have an office full of dinosaurs. Oh, that's
cool. It still remembers where I put Velociraptor. That is really cool. Here,
let's place our last one. Oh, wow. That one's
big. Hey,
bud. See? So, there's our uh kadypter,
our archopterix, and our velociraptor, and
our
ornithamus. Oh, I can move. Oh, he put his head down. There he
is. Yeah. Yeah, that's it. So, let's try
a game. This is sure a lot less work than uh dominoes when I was a kid. I
wonder how many dominoes you can
draw. Oh, how fast can you
go? Okay, step back.
Oh, that's not what I meant to do. Oh no, they're going to hit each
other. We're going to have a domino
collision. Oh, fail. That's pretty cool
though, actually. So, tango then. Now,
I've seen this kind of tech before. I've seen like take a picture and have
dinosaurs appear in it or whatever the case may be. But it's pretty clear that
thanks to the additional hardware, the
whole thing does work better on this. Now, with that said, everything you guys
saw today was either obviously pretty early stages or clearly
labeled as an experimental project. So,
what I want to know from you then is what do you see in terms of the
potential future for this? Let us know in the comments below. We will be
reading them. So, thanks again then to Lenovo for sponsoring this video and for
sending us the Fab 2 Pro. If all this augmented reality looked pretty cool to
you, you can actually get one of your own. We'll have that linked in the video description. And I think that pretty
much wraps it up. Thanks again for watching, guys. Don't forget to subscribe and all that good stuff. I
will see you again next time, but maybe
in augmented reality.
