hey guys za Steen I might not have a voice today what I do have is the Lenovo Mirage solo a daydream you see I did there this is a very different way of doing VR this is a very different way for me to talk in my videos cuz I'm sick of course you shoutout to Lenovo for sponsoring this video what makes the Mirage solo a little bit different is this is a properly powerful untethered VR headset inside you'll find a 2560 by 1440 piece 75 Hertz display now that high resolution especially paired with the high frame rate is really key to making the VR experience feel natural one of the main advantages of using the Mirage Solo is that this is a fully standalone headset I don't need to worry about my smartphone being plugged in and draining battery and it's also a much smoother experience a largely dude actually to the fact that it does have not only that high refresh rate display but importantly it also does support world sense so unlike most daydream headsets which do rely on a little bit more of a limited bit of luck gyroscope to be able to kind of place you in the world we do have a full 6 degrees of freedom what's really cool about this is that you can use it literally anywhere I mean I'm in the middle of the park and I can easily be playing a game watching a movie it really does give you a lot of possibilities Niraj solo runs on daydream Google's VR ecosystem surprisingly it actually works really well you have most of these different apps and features that you have on full Android just available in a headset form that means that we've got apps such as YouTube VR now this will give you a ton of different options so if I jump in here now I do we have full 360 and 180-degree video which looks great on the headset but you can also watch the standard 2d video like this the way that works is it literally looks like I've just got a huge display in front of me like a movie theater or something so thanks to dead trigger and a few zombie friends I can show a little more of the performance of what you can actually expect out of the Mirage Solo inside we have pretty decent specs Snapdragon 835 as well as 4 gigabytes of RAM that's not bad that's bad no no no no you should get 3 hours of battery life if you can survive the zombies that long but there are a ton of games and apps that do work on the headset it's not all about the Mirage solo though there's also this little guy the Lenovo Mirage camera with daydream this is not a 360 degree camera uses a pair of fisheye lenses upfront to give you a 180 degree field of view or as Google calls the format VR 180 this is a demo of what video looks like on the Mirage camera one of the cool advantages of this format is that what you still get all the advanced of ER you still do get a very wide field-of-view - this is a full 180 degrees what I like about this is it gives you a lot of flexibility when it comes to framing so we can still have Ken you know behind the camera doing Ken things but I can also pick it up and very easily do a little bit of vlogging so with a really cool part about this is that because it is so wide I know that I can always get the shot and specifically if you do have a smartphone you can actually scroll on the video if you watch the raw stuff link in the description but it's a really really cool aspect or a really cool way of shooting you generally don't get with any kind of standard camera you can control the camera as well as playback the photos and videos using the VR 180 app so this is a little demo that we took in the car a couple days ago so as you can see what's really cool about the 180 format is it specifically on a smartphone you can pinch in you can zoom around but you do get that sort of full 180 degree field of view so the video is a lot more immersive when you're watching it in the headset so it's kind of hard to sort of give you a real demo without actually having one of your own but it makes a huge difference and because the camera will shoot at a full 4k resolution we get those pixels all the way blown up makes a really big difference I mean I can see the detail on the gauges I can see the terrified look on Ken's face I can see Jay as he makes this tight corner and up hello yeah oh dude look she feels really good if I like spin the chair as I see myself turning the car it actually feels like I'm really there if you've never properly experienced VR or maybe you've been turned off by cheap mobile VR the Lenovo mirages solo and camera are definitely worth a look and of course I'll have a link to check out both these guys in the description as well so if you want more information I'll have a bunch of other videos linked as well
