Lenovo, fresh from having reiterated their commitment to the Moto brand at MWC 2016, is also looking to endow mature markets with a spanking new ‘augmented reality’ phone. According to China’s Lenovo Group’s chief executive, the company would like to enter mature markets this summer with its new handset that will boast of ‘augmented reality’ features which have been developed under Google’s Tango project.
This particular device was first announced at the 2016 CES consumer electronics show earlier this year over in Las Vegas in January, and it is set to launch later this July. Chief Executive Yang Yuanqing did not provide any more extra information concerning the upcoming smartphone though, although he did make mention that Google’s Project Tango technology will be part of it – and then some.
Just to refresh our memories, Project Tango happens to merge 3D motion tracking alongside depth sensors in order to provide a mobile device the ability to know just where it is as well as how it gets up and about in a particular area, resulting in the potential to harness the power of augmented reality features on the handset itself. Looks like we will have to wait for July to see the real deal in action.
