How do I export Point Cloud Data (Project Tango)?


Just got a Project Tango Development Kit tablet and have worked through some of the demos and examples.

Some older blog posts use the log files from a "Tango Mapper" application that should be preloaded on the device.

Unfortunately, the "Tango Mapper" application did not come preloaded on my device and I can't seem to find it on the Play Store.

Is there some other method to simply export or retrieve the PointCloud data for downstream rendering?

Solution

  • Tango Mapper is an internal tool, and it's currently not public to developers. I think the best way to log the point cloud data is using the c or java example code provided, and maybe do some small modification to log the data to a file.
