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 where's our core you're out MacBook Pro you're out money cat money cats it's so fab - Pro what is this thing it's a phone it's a tablet it's a phablet it's right in the name so it's got a Snapdragon processor a static cling screen cover thingamabob err it's got 64 gigs of storage it's got AC Wi-Fi it's got a 4050 milliamp hour battery it's got a massive 1440 screen and hope look at that would you look at that now would you look at that 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 60 megapixels RGV which basically just means it's the 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 - 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 I'm not being allowed display so 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 WIPP why is there like a goat or something in my office it's not a deer well I don't know what it is okay now I'm really confused these are like wolf deer raccoon things Wow look at him now they stopped what a loser loser wrong oh well that's like a window into the like real world again oh 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 and 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 us that way you can interact with the world around you in all new ways utilizing the virtual world created by tango so 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 yeah 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'm gonna go see it turn that out that's what you can't do in Angry Birds getting 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 because you don't have the angle for it but trust me there's lots of dead people and you know it's actually a savage savagely realistic game size matters bigger pieces are harder to knock over than smaller ones and too close to damn Island nutria close to me okay this time I'm going to strategically attack that spot right there but I'm going to pull back harder because I think that was my problem last night 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 oh there he goes can I pet it I actually don't know well yes I think so oh well there we go oh yeah we got a huge dog hide puppy his eyes are so soulless empty ah he's coming for ya 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 geez okay Velociraptor oh that's not nearly as big as I thought it would be no no no that's what like real Raptors are like they're like Turkey's really yeah so they're not like Jurassic party help me 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 just going to put all the dinosaurs around now we're just going to have an office full of dinosaurs oh that's cool it still remembers where I put Velociraptor here let's place our last one oh wow that one's big hey bud see so there's our credit tricks our Archaeopteryx and are philosoraptor and our our NASA - hey oh you can sit down guys mmhmm yeah yeah that's it so let's try a game - sure a lot less work than $10 nice day I don't how many dominoes you can drive how fast can you go okay step back oh that's not what I meant to you oh no they're gonna hit each other we're gonna have a domino collision Oh hail that's pretty cool though actually so tango then no 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 tube pro if all this augmented reality looks 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 an augmented reality
