project_tango_vid_capToday Intel held its developers forum and announced a partnership between itself and Google. Intel will combine its RealSense 3D camera sensors with help from Google to design a new Project Tango developer kit for smartphones.

Google first introduced Project Tango a few years ago and is looking to make the next step. Google’s 3D mapping initiative will be joined by Intel’s new RealSense camera module to create a kit for developers. You may recall Intel’s RealSense camera which has been used in many laptop computers up until this point.

The new device is expected to include a near 6-inch display and will be available for developers to get more hands on with the mapping technology. No further details about the upcoming kit were mentioned at the conference thus indicating the project may still be in its beginning stages. Intel and Google are hoping to send out the kits exclusively for developers by the end of 2015.
