Lenovo says that you can fold these glasses up like any sunglasses and sneak them into your bag. It\u2019ll supply a carrying case with the device too.<\/p>\n
There are two editions of these glasses. The PC edition plugs into your system and it\u2019s designed to provide a virtual monitor experience; you can line up five of them. It can display your existing applications on these large virtual monitors without taking up physical space.<\/p>\n This seems like a great fit for professionals working from home and don\u2019t have space for extra monitors. But the A3 won\u2019t come cheap and that means freelancers or creative folks might not be able to use one just yet.<\/p>\n There\u2019s also an Industrial Edition that lets you tether the headset to select Motorola phones and lets you perform your tasks in AR. This will enable folks who work on a factory floor or a manufacturing line to take a look at a large number of operations while being in place. Plus, you could add extra lenses on the front for eye protection.<\/p>\n Lenovo faces competition from other players such as Microsoft and Google in the enterprise market. However, it believes that right now it\u2019s a good time to stick around this market and not to switch over to the consumer side.<\/p>\n Nathan Pettyjohn, commercial lead for AR and VR at the company, said that we\u2019ll see AR being integrated into work in the next few years:<\/p>\n In the next three to five years, we\u2019ll see the ability to use augmented reality anywhere and everywhere at work will grow exponentially. Plus, powerful chipsets and 5G rollout will allow us to create more use cases out of this technology.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n The company is planning to ship this product by mid-2021. We don\u2019t know the pricing details of the ThinkReality A3 as of now, but given the A6 was priced above $2,000, the new device won\u2019t come cheap.<\/p>\n Did you know we have a newsletter all about consumer tech?
