Acer's new Holo 360 is a 360-degree camera in a smartphone
The effort to grow in the virtual reality market has Acer chasing weird, but rather interesting, devices.
The company introduced the Holo 360 camera, which is first and foremost a 360-degree camera. It can capture 3D content, much like other 360-degree cameras, and could be used to capture, view, and create content for VR headsets.
But, seemingly as an afterthought, the device also has WiFi and LTE connectivity. The device itself looks like a bulky smartphone and can be used to make phone calls. It has a small screen, much like those on candy-bar phones.
