So, what exactly will you get for the money? A surprisingly comfortable headset that manages to do room-scale VR on the cheap. See, existing headsets like the HTC Vive weigh around 550 grams, with most of that weight hanging off the front of your face. Lenovo's approach is a little more elegant. The final model will be somewhere around 350 grams, and is designed to rest mainly on your forehead as opposed to the bridge of your nose. I only got to wear it for about a half hour, but I felt none of the fatigue that long play sessions with the Vive can leave people with. For those keeping track, Lenovo's headset is also about 100 grams lighter than the Oculus Rift, though we'll see if any of other partners building headset that work with Windows Holographic can beat that.

400 $
Thats nothing great. This thing have no motion controllers of any kind.

I remember when I had dk1 and dk2. both were cheaper and oculus said that retail will be cheaper than that because those prototypes were not mass production.
Now everything is super expensive Laughing

Anyway, good to see another competitor

Is it cheap because it comes with malware? Maybe they use subliminal advertising to imprint a brand's logo into your brain while you are hooked into VR?

Laughing Yeah ... I don't trust anything from these chinese fucks.
