2017-12-14
yeah no force push force push finding Darth Maul he's right where sky have you fantasized about owning a lightsaber wanna battle holographic stormtroopers Sith Lords and battle droids and play hollow chests Star Wars Jedi battles may be the crazy novelty AR headset for you Lenovo's clever toy made in partnership with Disney combines a headset Bluetooth connected lightsaber and a glowing flora sensor it requires your phone though a handful of iPhones and Android phones are supported but check for compatibility it's annoying to set up you're gonna need to load an app sync the gear attach a dongle and slide your phone into the headset which has its own battery that also needs charger but once it's all set up you're suddenly seeing 3d holograms in your room almost like a budget version of microsoft hololens yes they overlap with furniture and things but still Darth Maul will fight you and it's pretty wild when you start up your lightsaber and see a holographic blade extend into the air oh wow ok three game modes over several worlds have you either lightsaber battling playing tower defense games with miniature troops on your floor or playing rounds of hollow chest puzzles like that one that's on the Millennium Falcon we had people who've never tried it before and someone who's never even seen Star Wars play a few rounds oh he's doing the double blade keep smacking them across the face with my lightsaber that's so satisfying verdict fun but the setup and the price which is 200 dollars could be drawbacks it's a crazy-cool geek toy but it's also a sign that a our headsets could be the next big toy next year
