Introducing the latest Intel RealSense short range camera to the Acer Aspire V Nitro “Black Edition” notebooks
Available on both the 15-inch and 17-inch Aspire V Nitro Black Edition notebooks, the new Intel RealSense Camera offers an improved sensing range of up to 5 feet from the device, secure and personalized login with Windows Hello, and more precise gesture tracking and control. With the improved camera sensing range the operational range is now even larger so that the camera can function when users are further away from the camera compared to previous generations.

“We believe the latest Intel RealSense camera will unlock new use cases and experiences for power users, complementing the style and performance of our iconic Aspire V Nitro series.”
Jerry Kao, President of Notebook Business Group, Acer Inc
With the new Intel RealSense Camera in place, Aspire V Nitro users can control their notebooks more intuitively, such as controlling the cursor with hand gestures. Gaming experiences are more immersive and personalized through enhanced gesture and motion tracking. It also enables 3D scanning and printing; users can simply scan an object with the 3D camera and save it. The 3D model can be used as a photo, or altered for output on a 3D printer.

With a USB Type-C monitor, wireless display accessories or the Display Dock, the Liquid Jade Primo can provide a PC-like experience on an external display with Continuum.
