Going Beyond Reality
Two weeks ago, ASUS Philippines gave us a special look at the up and coming Zenfone AR with the Daydream VR headset.
This pairing can now be interfaced with a single motion controller provided with the Daydream headset.
A New Reality through AR
Along with the final day of their Zenfone AR: A New Reality Hackathon, ASUS Philippines unveiled the pricing of this long-awaited smartphone.
