The LG tablet will be able to create real-time 3D maps of the places and things nearby. It looks like the device will be able to perform various important tasks like capable of helping the visually impaired navigate indoors to 3D scanning objects or creating augmented reality gaming worlds.
The prototype tablet has a 7-inch screen with 1080p display, runs a stock version of Android 4.4 KitKat and comes with 4GB RAM and 128 GB storage. Priced at $1,024, the tablet has a 4-megapixel rear camera with 2 micrometer pixels and a motion-tracking rear camera with integrated depth sensor.
