Lenovo releases sleek VR/AR headset ThinkReality VRX

Lenovo is targeting business users with its ThinkReality VR headset. The color passthrough headset is now available.

Lenovo's ThinkReality VR headset is now available in select markets, including Germany and the United States. The enterprise headset with thin pancake lenses features a resolution of 2280 x 2280 pixels per eye and the Snapdragon XR2+ Gen 1 chip system. In addition to four tracking cameras, there are two color cameras in the front that provide a stereoscopic view of the outside world.

Lenovo has tailored the mixed reality headset for enterprise use. The headset can be used as a standalone device with built-in content, connected to a PC or to a workstation. The VR headset can be wired or wirelessly connected to the PC.

VR/AR headset for enterprise

The battery on the back of the headset is said to be designed to balance weight distribution for comfortable use over long periods of time. A ventilation system is designed to increase comfort and dissipate heat away from the face.

In addition, the device supports enterprise-level security requirements, according to the manufacturer. This includes a protected supply chain. The VR controllers in the trailer are similar to those on the Quest 2, but with a gap in the front of the tracking ring. Hand tracking is also shown in the video.
