A new video game console launched in China recently, featuring an NVIDIA Tegra K1 processor, Extreme Reality’s motion controls, and Google Android-based software.
The game console is called the Warchief, and it sells for about $160 (Warchief can be purchased in China only on sites like Taobao and JD.com for 999 CNY), which makes a bit pricey for an Android TV box, but pretty inexpensive for a video game console.
Warchief specifications:
- SoC – Nvidia Tegra K1 quad core Cortex A15 processor with a 192-core Kepler GPU
- System Memory – 2GB DDR3
- Storage – 32GB eMMC
- Video Output – HDMI
- Connectivity – Ethernet, 802.11 b/g/n Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 4.0
- USB – 4x USB 2.0 ports
- Power Supply – TBD
- Dimensions – 340 x 235 x 110 mm
The package also include the Wii-like remote, a wireless gamepad, the camera, a power supply, a small USB dongle (for the remote or gamepad), and a few cables. A gun and steering wheel are also available separately. The system runs Android 4.4 with a user interface in Chinese only.
3D Motion control is achieved thanks to Extreme Reality (XTR3D) technology providing real time full body 3D motion capture technology using a single standard 2D webcam.
