Features of Lenovo Glasses T1

It is worth noting right away that this is not a virtual or augmented reality device, as it has been recently. You cannot walk safely with these glasses as your vision will be completely blocked and the cable will keep the wearer connected to any display and power source. The device is designed to hold you in place as if you are watching a TV or monitor, but the effect creates a feeling similar to a large cinema screen. You can watch movies, play games or deal with confidential digital documents.

• The essence of the glasses consists of two screens, inside of which the image from a computer or smartphone is broadcast and their screens are effectively switched.
• T1 glasses use a physical cable to connect to PCs, tablets, smartphones, Macs and other devices that can output video via USB-C. If you want to use the glasses with iOS devices like your iPhone, you’ll have to buy an HDMI adapter from Lenovo and an adapter from Apple, as the company still hasn’t moved away from Lightning technology.
