## Description

Lenovo Explorer brings you Vivid and immersive VR experiences on your modern PC. Escape to a virtual world of exhilarating adventures: Tour top travel destinations, be the Hero in the most exciting games, attend the most popular events or even travel across time and space, right at the comfort of your own home. The Lenovo Explorer which just takes minutes to set-up, is also extremely comfortable and lightweight, giving you hours of fun and entertainment as you discover the Magic of Windows mixed reality.

Review: A Fantastic Entry Point Into VR - Until the Mixed Reality headsets came out, the only options you really had were buying a $400 Oculus or $600 Vive, and they essentially held a duopoly on the market, refusing to reduce pricing. Thanks to the magic of the free market, the mixed reality headsets have quickly become an affordable entry-level headset as the prices have begun hitting $200 on desertcart (1/2 the price of Oculus, 1/3 the price of a Vive). For a fraction of the price, you'll be receiving the bulk of the "virtual reality experience" The Lenovo headset specifically is the best Mixed Reality offering available, besides the much more expensive Odyssey. It offers 110 degree field of vision, whereas the other headsets are just at 100. The Oculus and Rift offer 120 and 145 respectively. I believe all the Mixed Reality headsets besides the Odyssey offer 2880x1440 resolution (better than the Vive and tied with Oculus) with 90hz refresh rate. While comfort is a personal metric, I find this headset to have a very comfortable fit to it. Another reason I chose this headset is that people reported that it works great for people with glasses, and I can confirm that they do. In summary, you get a resolution on par or better than the industry leaders and you compromise on your fov with this headset for a fraction of the cost, and for what it's worth, I've had no trouble with 110 fov. It's pretty negligible The real compromise of this headset isn't the fov at all really, it's the tracking. The Mixed Reality headsets use two internal cameras to track your controllers and the results are functional but leave a lot to be desired. If you raise your hands above your head, it'll lose track. If you drop your hands all the way to the ground, it *can* lose track. If you throw your hands behind your body, it'll lose track. When you use this headset in practice, you'll observe that it calculates the trajectory of your movements and do a good job of guessing where you threw your hands. You can swing your hands behind your body in fluid motions and it'll figure it out, but you have to move them back in front of the cameras or your hands will wonk out on you until you do return them. In essence, there's a bit of an art to moving your arms fluidly that you'll want to learn but on the whole, it is functional.This is the real compromise of the headset, and it's up to you if you're willing to spend a lot more money on headsets that don't have this issue. There is an upside to this flaw. Because the tracking is all done internally, this headset is very easy to setup. You don't have to spend hundreds of dollars on "lightposts" either, sensors that you place around your room to externally track your movements.You also don't need 4 4.0 USB ports to manage your headset alongside a massive amount of batteries to power the whole operation. You just plug the Lenovo into your hdmi and USB, and you're good to go in basically 10 minutes of installation. The controllers themselves use 2 AA batteries, so 4 between the both of them, and you may want to invest in rechargeable batteries if you intend to use this a lot as it'll save you money in the long run. I went with EBL 8 Bay AA AAA Battery Charger with AA 2800mAh (4 Pack) and AAA 1100mAh (4 Pack) Ni-MH Rechargeable Batteries for a battery charger and purchased 8 additional batteries EBL 8 Pack High Capacity 2800mAh AA Ni-MH Rechargeable Batteries, Battery Case Included which brought me up to 12 rechargeable alongside the 4 AA that come with the charger station. It's a totally optional move, but I digress. The quick plug and play functionality of this headset also makes the Mixed Reality headsets far more portable. Finally, Grab Steam VR for Mixed Reality to play Steam VR games, many of which are free. That just about covers everything. The head movement is very fluid all around and the bulk of your hand movements are going to be in front of you where the tracking is great, and the whole thing feels very fluid. The prices on desertcart seem to fluctuate pretty dramatically so you should know that they've hit $200. The Acer is supposed to also be a great option but has 100 fov instead of 110 namely. Hopefully you can grab a pair when the prices go low!
Review: Great VR headset on a budget! Super lightweight and comfortable. Works well with glasses - Okay, so desertcart says 4 stars is "I like it" and 5 stars is "I love it." I wanted to give it 4 stars but I actually do love it. So hey, let's be generous. If you've never owned VR, this is a great kit. The reason I picked it up was it was being sold at a fantastic price and it works well with glasses. I also own the Samsung HMD Odyssey which is an amazing headset and much more polished than the Lenovo. The screens on the Samsung are just gorgeous AMOLED whereas the Lenovo is regular LCD. If I had never owned the Samsung, I think I would like the Lenovo more. Functionally, it's pretty close to the Samsung. The advantages the Lenovo has over other headsets (and I've also tried Rift and Vive) is that it's very light and comfortable to wear. You can pivot the VR part upward so you can see the real world and do things like type on your keyboard without having to take the headset off. Samsung can't do this or the Rift/Vive. And while the Samsung headset is comfortable, you can notice the weight difference especially after playing for awhile. You can also wear glasses with the Lenovo. It's practically impossible with the Samsung. I do wear contacts most of the time so it's not a major issue. But sometimes I want to use VR late at night when I've already taken my contacts out. With the Samsung, some nights I even debated popping open a fresh pair of contacts just to game. The controllers are pretty good. The tracking is good. You can run SteamVR games and Rift games but some games take work because there is no native support for Rift and SteamVR. The SteamVR support is getting better and better. If you look at the reviews when the Windows Mixed Reality headsets came out, they're somewhat deceiving in that SteamVR support was poor in the beginning, but it's improved. And there are more and more games being natively supported as well. Just like Vive can use Oculus games through workarounds, the same workarounds allow WMR headsets to work. A great benefit of WMR headsets is that they're super portable. I bring the headset in a box with a laptop to a friend's place or to work and you just play games. In fact, my Surface Pro 2017 with Core i7 8 GB RAM and 256 GB storage is sufficient for some great games like Space Pirate Trainer. No extensive room setup needed like with the Vive. If you have the money and don't wear glasses much, get the Samsung. It's so nice as a VR headset. But on a budget, I think the Lenovo is fantastic.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Does wireless mean that the headset is not attached to the PC?**
A: The Headset connects to the PC via one USB 3 and one HDMI connector.   The HANDSETS/CONTROLLERS are connected to the PC wirelessly through BLUETOOTH and the headset sees and TRACKS the controllers VIA the WHITE LED's that light up on the controller and the two cameras mounted in the front of the headset. The same two cameras BTW also track your environment. This is how it knows where it is relative to everything else. WMR headsets do NOT require anything mounted to walls. 
Let me say this, if you have Steam, get SteamVR and then get an add-on called ReVive!  This will allow you to play MANY SteamVR titles that use Oculus Rift or the HTC Vive without paying so much.  I use my HP WMR headset to play Fallout4VR edition and it's pretty damned impressive..   Can't wait for SkyrimVR!

**Q: is this like signing up for the matrix?**
A: No not even close it's more like the anime dot hack if anything The Matrix in real life would be like putting on a Nervegear these just use side by side dual screens and wearing them basically as goggles and you're just wearing a monitor over your head. It's still not bad though but I wouldn't call it REAL virtual reality people argue it's another version of 3D which is probably the case for the money though the thing isn't bad I just bought one myself and expecting to get it June 5 - June 8 of 2018. I am not saying you will hate it but if anything I will say YES it's as close as you can get to the real The Matrix and I am sure they are already planning on using things like No Mans Sky to pull it off in a few years.

**Q: What are the connectors?**
A: Your PC will need a HDMI, 2- USB 3.0 and WiFi. All of the connectors come with the bundle.

**Q: Does anyone know if this will work on a 3rd gen (ivy bridge) i5? i well exceed video card and ram requirements, just running an older cpu.**
A: Here are the minimum system requirements for the Lenovo Explorer Bundle: Intel Core i5 7200U
8GB DDR3 dual channel (or better
NVIDIA MX150/965M (or greater) DX12-capable discrete GPU or Integrated Intel® HD Graphics 620 (or greater) DX12-capable integrated GPU

HDMI 1.4 or DisplayPort 1.2
Connected external or integrated VGA (800x600) display (or better)
USB 3.0 Type-A or Type-C
Bluetooth 4.0

### ⭐ It's a pretty good headset overall, Until it breaks.
*by L***E on March 20, 2018*

EDIT: The cable developed a short after about 3 months of use, Sent it to lenovo for repair(You pay for shipping yourself), And after receiving it, support claiming they never got it for about two weeks, And spending another 4 weeks "in progress" without an update I am question if I will ever get it back. So if you want a 4 month VR trail run at the cost of 260 bucks then this product is for you. It's a pretty good headset overall. Very comfortable and no real issues with long term use. I like it overall better then the vive because the resolution is that much better despite the tracking issues below. The following issue might just be a software issue with Windows Mixed reality as a whole. My only compliant is the tracking. While it's good most of the time it has issues with a lot of people in the same room and tends to lose tracking when getting close to the ground such as picking someone up off the floor. It also seems to take it a bit to refind the controllers if it loses track of them.
