15．If last year was all about virtual reality （VR 虛擬現(xiàn)實(shí)），then 2017belongs to augmented reality （AR，增強(qiáng)現(xiàn)實(shí)）．It's been around since the early 1990s，but recent developments have seen AR put into the hands of almost anyone with a smartphone．
Using special software，AR allows users to see virtual objects in the real world．Hit apps like game Pokemon Go and messaging app Snapchat mean that it's more widely used than VR．But it seems that companies have bigger plans up their sleeves．
This month，Taiwan tech giant Asus released its latest smartphone，the Zenfone AR．What makes it stand out is the cutting-edge （前沿的） AR tech it uses-Google Tango．"Tango-equipped phones can understand the physical space by measuring the distance between the phone and objects in the real world．"tech site Android Authority explained．
Tango is thought to be the next leap forward in tech，and dozens of companies have already created innovative （創(chuàng)新） new apps for it．Measuring walls or curtains in your home，viewing the solar system in your bedroom，or checking what a new table would look like in your living room are all possible using the special cameras and sensors （傳感器） of Tango smartphones．
But it's not all just about fun and games．Present location technology in smartphones isn't 100 percent accurate，meaning navigating （導(dǎo)航） indoors is difficult，but Tango devices'special sensors allow them to"see"any in-door space．It's hoped that blind people will be able to use this technology to help them find their way around inside buildings．
There are still problems with this，though，John Brownlee of Co．Design says，"Let's say you need to direct a blind person to walk 50 feet in a straight line：How do you communicate to him or her what a foot is？"he wrote．
Google is working to solve these issues，however．"Nearly 20 percent of the US population will have a disability during their lifetime，"Eve Anderson，head of Accessibility Engineering at Google，wrote on the company's website．"That's why it's so important to build tools to make technology easy for everyone．"
