SK Telecom announced on May 31 that it demonstrated the T-AR for Project Tango, which combined an augmented reality (AR) platform and Google's 3D motion-tracking technology and a device named Tango with a 3D sensor during Google I/O in San Francisco on May 29 (local time).

The T-AR for Project Tango is Google's next-generation core project aimed at developing a mobile platform equipped with a 3D depth sensor.

SKT teamed up with Google and developed a solution capable of displaying virtual content by analyzing and recognizing 3D space, after combining a terminal called Tango that is able to recognize space with T-AR, an AR platform. Existing AR technology remains at 2D that covers videos recognized by a camera with information images, whereas Tango can deliver 3D AR through space recognition.

For example, people will be able to see dinosaurs and primitive men roaming around a museum through an AR terminal if a virtual reality Stone Age is built inside a museum using the newly-developed AR solution.
