Asus Zenfone AR set to blend VR and AR on a single phone<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

Asus Zenfone AR set to blend VR and AR on a single phone:-<\/strong> Virtual reality? Augmented reality? Asus is working with Google to release a phone that does both, and it’s being built with Qualcomm’s chips.<\/span><\/p>\n

A leaked announcement via Qualcomm in advance of Asus’ January 4th press conference revealed the Asus Zenfone AR, a phone that blends Google’s Daydream View VR and Tango depth-sensing cameras in one device. A likely photo of the phone was posted by @evleaks (see above): its camera array looks smaller than Lenovo’s first Tango phone, the Lenovo Phab 2 Pro.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Zenfone AR also boasts a faster Qualcomm Snapdragon 821 processor than the Phab 2 Pro, putting it more on par with Google’s Pixel phones.<\/span><\/p>\n

Google’s previous phones that work with its new Daydream VR platform include Google’s Pixel phones and the Motorola Z, while the only Tango-equipped phone was the Phab 2 Pro. Our experiences with it last year were promising but very mixed.<\/span><\/p>\n

Zenfone AR, however, could bridge the gap between augmented and virtual, something Google’s Clay Bavor has aimed for since bringing Tango and Daydream under one umbrella last year.<\/span><\/p>\n

Combining VR and a movement-sensing location-aware camera like Tango could mean that virtual reality apps and games could start tracking movement across a room, enabling VR experiences like those available on higher-end systems like the PC-based HTC Vive that otherwise require external boxes or sensors. But to do that, apps will have to take advantage of the Zenfone AR’s unique package.<\/span><\/p>\n

Perhaps Zenfone AR will be a blueprint to exporing where Android’s next-generation phones will go next. We’ll have to wait to hear more at Asus’ press conference on January 4.<\/span><\/p>\n
