Lenovo is already thinking about launching its own VR glasses taking advantage of the Windows Mixed Reality platform

When expanding their products throughout the planet, from Redmond they have always been clearly clear that it was essential to have the support of third parties. Companies and manufacturers that support their products, something that has its most important manifestation in the Windows ecosystem, which would not be the same without the large number of brands who have made it their own in their teams.

We are talking about prominent companies such as HP, Lenovo, Asus, Dell… which have displayed the logo of the colored window on their computers for years But in these times, collaboration is growing, especially due to the development of new product lines. And this is the case of Windows Holographic, one of Microsoft's most promising projects that has now gained new momentum with the arrival of the Creators Update.

"

And the fact is that the spring update for Windows 10 has added support for this platform which has now been renamed Windows Mixed Reality . In this way, any OEM can rely on it to launch new products and that is apparently what Lenovo is going to do, the first to jump into the pool in this area."

And the fact is that Lenovo's relationship with Microsoft is still curious, because if it hasn't been so long we've seen how its Lenovo COO , Gianfranco Lanci, announced that he was not betting on the Windows 10 Mobile platform, in parallel they have bet on interesting products in the range of convertibles (the case of the Lenovo Miix 320) and now they have their sights set on a new product.

VR devices may be the next revolution in the classroom and in the leisure segment and no manufacturer will want to miss the opportunity to be well positioned

It would be a device based on Windows Mixed Reality that would reach the markets throughout the third quarter of the year at a price which they say would be between 300 and 400 dollars (compared to around 500 dollars for current models) so that it would be interesting for students and therefore for use in educational fields and environments.

This accessibility would also not only be a matter of price and it is that to win the game against an already established competition (at least by users' knowledge) such as the Oculus Rift or the HTC Vive, From Lenovo they could make so that the user does not have to count on a _hardware_ that is too powerful to make it work.

A device that will use two OLED screens of 1440 x 1440 pixels each and that with a weight of 350 grams will be compatible with apps for HoloLens and various apps from the Windows Store.

It is clear that in the coming months we are going to see how this type of device lands on the markets intended for both leisure and entertainment business or even educational segment. _What will be the yield that can be obtained from it?_

That is a question that remains in the air and that will surely not be able to have a concise answer until technology has settled among us . While we will be delighted to test what different manufacturers can offer.
