摩托罗达新MOTO MOD曝光,将可用手机观看VR内容

据外媒VentureBeat记者Evan Blass的爆料,摩托罗拉即将推出一款名为VirtualViewer的新motomod。虽然这款产品没有进一步的细节说明,也没有实物展示。但从图片上可以大致了解到VirtualViewer是一款VR模块,将moto的Z系列手机放到模块内部,就可以观看VR内容了。

目前,智能手机的VR头戴式头显非常普遍,一些公司(如三星)已经制造出专门用于手机的头戴式VR头显。所以这款产品极有可能是一款只支持moto的Z系列设备内置的类似Daydream VR功能的VR设备。

The new MOTO MOD will be available to watch VR content on mobile phones.

According to VentureBeat reporter Evan Blass, MOTOROLA is launching a new motomod called VirtualViewer. Although the product has no further details, there is no physical display. However, it can be seen from the picture that the VirtualViewer is a VR module, and the moto Z series phones can be placed inside the module so that the VR content can be viewed.

At present, the VR headwear of smart phones is very common, and some companies (such as samsung) have already made head-mounted VR headsets specially for mobile phones. So this product is likely to be a VR device with a similar Daydream VR headset built into the moto Z series.
