Project Status

--------------

**The Tango service is deprecated. Google continues AR development with [ARCore](https://developers.google.com/ar), a platform designed for building augmented reality apps for a broad range of devices.**

This contains the Project Tango Java API examples.



These examples use the Gradle build system and were developed using

Android Studio 2.1.



#### Basic Examples



The **java_basic_examples** project includes basic examples showing how

to compile and run an application using different core Tango APIs in

Java:



 * **hello_motion_tracking** - Use the Motion Tracking API

   to track the position of the Tango device in 3D space.

 * **hello_area_description** - Use the Area Description

   API to create and manage Area Description Files.

 * **hello_depth_perception** - Use the depth sensor.

 * **hello_video** - Show how to render the RGB camera image using

   OpenGL.



#### Use Case Examples



Other examples in this repository show how to build an application for

different use cases of Tango technology.



Most of these examples delegate the details of OpenGL rendering to the

[Rajawali](https://github.com/Rajawali/Rajawali) engine, so that the

example code can focus on the Tango-specific aspects of the application.



 * **java_augmented_reality_example** - Achieve an augmented reality effect

   by rendering 3D objects overlaid on the camera image such that they appear

   to stay affixed in space.

 * **java_floor_plan_example** - Create a floor plan by

   using the depth sensor to detect and mesure walls in a room.

 * **java_marker_detection_example** - Build an augmented reality appliction

   to detect AR markers in real world, and to render the boundaries and poses of

   markers.

 * **java_model_correspondence_example** - Create a mapping

   between a virtual 3D object and selected points in the real world.

 * **java_motion_tracking_example** - Use Tango motion

   tracking to navigate in a virtual 3D world.

 * **java_opengl_augmented_reality_example** - Achieve an augmented reality effect

   without using any third party 3D rendering library.

 * **java_plane_fitting_example** - Build an AR application

   to detect planes in the real world to place objects in them.

 * **java_point_cloud_example** - Acquire and render a cloud

   of 3D points using the depth sensor.

 * **java_point_to_point_example** - Build a simple point to

   point measurement application using augmented reality and the depth

   sensor.



The **java_examples_utils** project contains some common utility code that

is used for many examples.

Contribution

------------

Want to contribute? Great! First, read this page (including the small

print at the end).



#### Before you contribute

Before we can use your code, you must sign the

[Google Individual Contributor License

Agreement](https://developers.google.com/open-source/cla/individual?csw=1)

(CLA), which you can do online. The CLA is necessary mainly because you

own the

copyright to your changes, even after your contribution becomes part of

our

codebase, so we need your permission to use and distribute your code. We

also

need to be sure of various other things—for instance, that you'll tell us

if you

know that your code infringes on other people's patents. You don't have

to sign

the CLA until after you've submitted your code for review and a member

has

approved it, but you must do it before we can put your code into our

codebase.

Before you start working on a larger contribution, you should get in

touch with

us first through the issue tracker with your idea so that we can help

out and

possibly guide you. Coordinating up front makes it much easier to avoid

frustration later on.



#### Code reviews

All submissions, including submissions by project members, require

review. We

use Github pull requests for this purpose.



#### The small print

Contributions made by corporations are covered by a different agreement

than

the one above: the Software Grant and Corporate Contributor License

Agreement.
