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

Question

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. - Interactive Visualization of Google Project Tango Data with ParaView - Ologic Announces integration between ROS and Project Tango - Google Tango and ROS integration at Bosch - Mapping Hints and Tips 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? [Model number: yellowstone, Tango Core Version: 1.1:2014.11.14-bernoulli-release]

Accepted Answer

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.
