Space Sketchr By Left Field Labs Lets You Doodle With Project Tango, And It's Pretty Impressive To Watch

Google's Project Tango, which enables users to manipulate objects it a 3D virtual space using sensors and a motion-tracking camera, has already been used to do cool things. NASA has worked to incorporate Tango into autonomous, space-aware robots. Limbic has integrated it with its popular Zombie Gunship franchise, requiring players to physical maneuver above the zombies they're trying to rain munitions down upon. Now a team based in Venice, California has developed an app that lets you create sketches and physically move around them.

With Space Sketchr, as the app is known, you can draw a word on a touchscreen, take a step forward, and turn around to view the letters from behind. Alternatively, you can move backwards as you spawn each letter, giving the word a sense of depth. Or you can just run around with your finger held down and see what you're able to create.

In a way, the app by Left Field Labs turns you into more of an engineer than an artists. After you're done constructing something, other users are able to view and explore what you've built.

Space Sketchr is already on Google Play for the relatively few people who already own a compatible device. The rest of us will just sit here ponder how if Tango can do this to simple doodles, what else is in store?

Born and raised in the rural South, Bertel knows what it's like to live without 4G LTE - or 3G, for that matter. The only things he likes sweeter than his tea are his gadgets, and while few objects burn more than a metal phone on a summer day, he prefers them that way anyway.
