CES 2018 | Get lost in a mirage with the wireless Lenovo Mirage Solo VR headset and Mirage Camera

Lenovo Mirage Solo with Daydream VR headset

The Mirage Solo with Daydream is a standalone VR headset which allows the user to immerse themselves in virtual reality without the usual array of power and video cables that usually tether to a PC. It is the first standalone headset to use Google’s Daydream platform, and the Mirage Solo utilizes the WorldSense motion tracking technology to allow leaning, dodging, and ducking actions. Compatible content relies on the Daydream platform, but examples include learning about and exploring the Acropolis in Athens, or a mini-game searching for clues to a mystery involving Replicants in the congested streets of Blade Runner.
