Lenovo has revealed more details about
the new VR hardware at this year’s CES 2018 technology show currently taking
place in Las Vegas. The Lenovo Mirage Solo with Daydream is a stand-alone
virtual reality headset with a 110-degree field of view. The Solo does not
require a PC or smartphone and is capable of working wirelessly to provide an
immersive experience complete with motion tracking technology and utilising
Google’s Daydream virtual reality platform.
In conjunction with the launch of the Lenovo VR
headset the company is also making available Lenovo Mirage Camera also equipped
with Daydream technology enabling users to capture their own virtual reality
180 degree video, which can then be watched on the Lenovo Mirage Solo headset.
The motion tracking technology included in the Mirage Solo takes the form of
WorldSense designed to enable users to explore virtual reality environments.
Internal components of the Lenovo Mirage Solo VR
headset include Qualcomm Snapdragon 835 processor, which is supported by 4 GB
of RAM allowing the Mirage Solo to handle the most demanding Daydream virtual
reality experiences, says Lenovo. The Mirage Solo VR headset comes supplied
with a wireless Daydream controller which can be used to navigate your virtual
worlds and is equipped with a clickable trackpad, application, home buttons,
and a volume control as well as providing the ability to change the
controller’s function from app to app depending on your preferences.
The Lenovo Mirage Solo will be available sometime in
the second quarter of 2018 and is expected to be priced at around US$ 400,
although this has not yet been confirmed by Lenovo.
