A 2-in-1 device that uses AI for smarter charging, that can also be rotated horizontally, vertically, laid flat, and with a keyboard that automatically tracks your hands while you type. That’s Project PRECOG, a new device from ASUS due to ship next year.
Announced at the end of ASUS’s corporate press conference at Computex, Project PRECOG is a 2-in-1 device that comes with two screens, a little reminiscent of Nintendo’s DS handheld.
Precog is a good degree more powerful, though. Like the company’s ScreenPad technology shown off earlier at Computex, the second screen will display contextual information and toolbars for relevant applications. One example shown during the conference was Excel, with suggestions provided on the bottom screen while the spreadsheet was viewable on the main screen.
The two screens are joined by a 360o hinge, and the device has a Movidius Vision processor from Intel. ASUS didn’t announce any other internals, although they added that Windows Cortana and Amazon Alexa was built in.
