Lenovo also wants a piece of the Mixed Reality pie and introduces the ThinkReality platform

A few hours ago we have seen the new laptop announced by Lenovo in which the main feature is the presence of a flexible screen that allows the transition from a 13.3-inch screen to a smaller one . It is the biggest claim among Lenovo's announced products, but it is not the only one.

And it is that the Asian company has announced the ThinkReality platform, a new set that combines _hardware_ and _software_ with which The company wants to gain a foothold in a market that is preparing for a future in which the battle will be intense with almost all the posh manufacturers (there is Microsoft with the HoloLens) present with their own solutions.

Bet on Mixed Reality

And in this set we highlight the ThinkReality A6 Mixed Reality glasses, a kind of Mixed Reality helmet that mounts inside a Qualcomm Snapdragon 845 processor which is accompanied by an Intel Movidius VPU.

To function, the ThinkReality A6 (we'll refer to it as a headset) mounts an depth sensor and Intel Movidius vision processing unitand Lumus waveguide optics. Both systems are complemented by an RGB camera with 13 megapixel resolution and two fisheye lenses with which to capture everything that happens around us.

Gestures and sight sensing are the foundation for controlling the ThinkReality A6 and putting it all on a screen that delivers 1080p resolution and a field of view 40 degrees for each eye.

When it comes to autonomy, the ThinkReality A6 offers up to four hours of uninterrupted battery life without having to recharge the battery 6800mAh battery. In those four hours of possible continuous use it is also essential that they are comfortable and to achieve this Lenovo has adjusted the weight to the maximum, staying only at 380 grams. The secret of this lightness is that it uses an external system for processing, which is connected via USB Type C to the helmet.

The ThinkReality platform and the Virtual Reality case that accompanies it, is focused on business use. The goal is to enable businesses to adopt AR and VR solutions under multiple operating systems and different cloud services. For now there is no fixed price for sale to the public and Lenovo has indicated that those interested should contact sales representatives or business partners if they want more information about it.
