Lenovo’s VR One-Two Punch

On the heals of Oculus’ Go release, Lenovo has moved forward with their own one-two punch.  First, using Google’s Worldsense tracking technology, the Lenovo Solo HMD is delivering true positional tracking in a completely wireless solution.  Next, the unit features 2560 X 1440 resolution (1280 X 1440 per eye) running at a max refresh rate of 75 Hz.  The unit also boasts a 110 degree FOV.  The Lenovo Solo is running a Qualcomm Snapdragon 835 and is being marketed for $399 USD.

The HMD also features a 3DOF (three degree depth of field) hand controller.  This is not the same as positional tracking, so while you will be able to see all the nuances of personal movement, the controller has less flexibility.

In tandem with Lenovo’s HMD is a 180 degree stereoscopic 3D camera.  In other words, this camera has two distinct lenses to capture the realism of seeing things as they were Meant to be Seen!  The camera runs $299 USD.
