We’ve been hearing a lot about Apple’s first mixed reality headset, which is expected to be introduced sometime next year. But while that day hasn’t come, Lenovo has announced its newest AR glasses “T1,” which, surprisingly, work with iPhone, iPad, and even Mac.
Meet the Lenovo Glasses T1
Lenovo Glasses T1 is the company’s answer to making this product category ready for the masses. The design is quite simple, and there’s nothing revolutionary about it. They’re just black glasses with special lenses. In fact, the company sells it as “your personal mobile display solution,” since it only works when connected to another device.
The hardware of Lenovo’s new AR glasses is not exactly impressive, but it seems enough for most situations. It has two Micro OLED panels with 1080p resolution each that display Full HD content with a 60Hz framerate. It is also certified for low blue light and flicker reduction for better eye comfort.
According to ArsTechnica, who got to try out a prototype of the Lenovo Glasses T1, the brightness level is reasonable and the colors are vibrant, not to mention that the interface and texts are “clear” enough. However, the report also notes that controlling the glasses might seem awkward sometimes, since you do this through another device.
