Lenovo Might be Working on New AR Glasses
A few days ago, we got word that Lenovo was preparing its own gaming handheld, the Windows-powered Lenovo Legion Go. The upcoming device is set to take on competing devices like the Nintendo Switch, Steam Deck and ROG Ally, although it looks like Lenovo has something else up its sleeve.
New information from a source over at Windows Report indicates that Lenovo is also working on new Legion-branded AR glasses. While this isn’t the company’s first foray into the AR space (we already have the ThinkReality line), it seems that this new product will possibly integrate more heavily with the Legion Go, as part of a hardware ecosystem.
At the moment however, no specific hardware details or other information about the rumored AR device is available, although the “Legion” branding as well as a leaked image showing the device in action indicates that the glasses will be developed with gaming in mind. Additionally, it’s also rumored that Lenovo might showcase the product during IFA 2023 this September.
While VR has been mainstream for some time now thanks to products like Sony’s PS VR and the Oculus Quest, AR has yet to make a major resurgence, although the arrival of hardware such as Apple’s Vision Pro indicates that we might see more manufacturers offer their own AR-powered products soon.
