Description: Ever wanted to take a selfie in space? Inspired by Google Cardboard, ASUS introduces ‘ZenFone 2 VR: The Journey Begins’ app, and lets you explore space like never before. With its unrivalled camera functions, you can capture more details no matter where you are, and take the biggest selfie you’ve ever seen.

Review: We have already seen the world of videos going to the 360° style, but what about adverts? Unless they are the same 360° style on every advert shown it will break up the illusion of the virtual reality (as is often the case). But ASUS thinks otherwise and has made a virtual reality advert.

Set in space you tour around learning all the camera features the ‘ZenFone 2’ has. From taking selfies, to low light images, it was fun to watch and all looks amazing. So is this the future of adverts? Well, as long as it doesn’t take me away from the immersion of virtual reality I’m all for them showing as many adverts as they want to in an app or game, be them 360° style like this or otherwise. A great experience, but still basically an advert none nether the less.
