BERLIN – When we talk about wearables that, in some way, resemble glasses, we immediately think of virtual or augmented reality. THE Lenovo Glasses T1 but they are none of this. The right comparison is with a monitor. A portable monitor is huge. And yes, it sounds like an oxymoron but it well describes this product we’ve got to try IFA 2022.
The preview of Lenovo Glasses T1
I Lenovo Glasses T1 they resemble a classic pair of glasses. Thicker, heavier – but not uncomfortable – e with a USB-C cable that can be connected to smartphones, tablets, PCs and Macs. They even work with iPhones with the attached adapter. But to do what? Well, basically it’s like having a huge secondary screen at your disposal. Huge because the display micro-OLED it will actually look great with your living room TV. A TV with a refresh rate of 60 Hz and a contrast of 10,000 to 1, plus TUV certification for protecting your eyes from blue light.
To complete the picture they think about it the integrated speakers and the ability to use the special frame for prescription lenses, so as to allow the use of the device also to those who usually wear glasses.
But what are you doing with it? Well, what you do with a second screen, with the difference that you don’t need a desk, table or shelf to put it on. The advantage therefore is to have a larger display even in places with limited space such as airplanes and trains, so you can work or enjoy multimedia content in complete peace of mind. And then they guarantee maximum privacy as no one will be able to peek at what you are doing, perfect for business documents and files.
We got to wear and use them for a few minutes and found them comfortevoli, with the display that occupies a large part of the field of view but leaves you with what you need to orient yourself and understand where you are and who you are next to. The Motorola smartphone they were connected to was then transformed into a touchpad and, if necessary, a keyboardso we comfortably surfed the net, opened the Play Store and checked the calendar effortlessly and without losing contact with reality and the surrounding environment.
The price? Still not there. Lenovo hopes to stay below $ 500 for the US market even if the first country in which they will be launched will be China at the end of this year. On the other hand, there are no indications on the arrival in Europe.
