Asus Zenfone AR
I have been looking for phones which can change the mindset how we look at mobile phones. And I found one “Zenfone AR” it seems like a futuristic smartphone. You might have seen such phone in Bond movies but Asus has actually made it possible with its new phone.
What makes it so special?
Zenfone AR is the world’s first phone which is Tango-enabled as well as Daydream ready. While Lenovo is credited with launching the first smartphone with Tango but Asus went a step ahead with Zenfone AR. Which support Google’s DayDream VR also. It is also the first Android smartphone to offer 8GB RAM along with 515 pixels per inch.
While most of the smartphone makers are not even offering dual camera Asus equipped Zenfone AR with tricam system consisting of three rear cameras, a 23MP camera, a motion-tracking camera and a depth-sensing camera.
The main camera also supports TriTech+ autofocus system, 4-axis OIS (optical image stabilisation) as well as 3- axis EIS (electrical image stabilisation). It has an external five magnet speaker that supports high-resolution audio and DTS virtual sound to give the ultimate AR and VR experience.
What is Tango and Google’s DayDream VR?
Tango is the new technology from Google that enables AR (augmented reality) gaming and utilities and DayDream is Google’s Virtual Reality Programme.
Well, this is how any technician or any computer engineer will explain this technology to you. What does that really mean what I have written in the above context. Take an example, what if you want to know the dimension of your room and you don’t have any length measuring apparatus you cannot do anything but with Tango you can measure it, just open your camera and it will tell the dimension.
Examples of thing one can do with a Tango are visualising furniture like a new sofa or table to see how it looks, playing with virtual objects etc. With Tango, the phone uses the motion tracking camera and depth sensing cameras to know the areas. It is able to map physical spaces, track objects and it can project virtual effect in real world space.
Asus Zenfone AR specification:
It has a 5.7inch screen with Quad HD Super AMOLED capacitive touchscreen display. It has 515pixel per inch and the screen is protected by corning gorilla glass. The screen is quite large as compared to other phone but it is necessary to provide a good experience of AR and VR effect.
