In addition to showcasing the device, this also appears to be an attempt at highlighting Android features. “Through immersive and engaging product demonstrations, we’re able to showcase the latest Android features, applications and device capabilities in a visually stunning and memorable way,” states Tanya Madan, Director of Global Marketing for Android.
This test is being conducted in partnership with HYPERVSN, which is providing the technology. According to the company’s statistics, these 3D displays capture 10 times more attention than their 2D counterparts.
