Infineon and PMD REAL3 ToF image sensor is at the heart of Asus ZenFone AR. The ASUS Zenfone AR is said to be the world’s thinnest smartphone that offers a 3D ToF camera and the first Google Daydream and Tango ready smartphone.
“3D scanning with semiconductors from Infineon helps to interconnect the real and virtual worlds,” said Martin Gotschlich, Director, 3D Imaging at Infineon Technologies. “Mobile devices with an integrated 3D image sensor have spatial awareness of their surroundings and the capability for augmented reality applications with an impressive realistic quality. They pave the way for numerous applications and innovations that were not previously possible.”
