Lenovo had one of the very first windows-based mixed reality headsets we saw way back at CES 2017 now the final version is even closer to release and it's called the Lenovo Explorer at its heart this is pretty much the same as the recent mixed and virtual reality headsets we've seen from Dell Acer HP and others they're all based on the same Microsoft reference design which means they all look and behave roughly the same despite small differences in color and design like the others the Lenovo Explorer has two built-in cameras right in the front which act as positioning trackers that's different than the oculus rift HTC vive or even the PS VR which all use external tracking sensors or cameras that makes this potentially simpler to setup and less expensive the cameras built into the Explorer can also capture what's happening right in front of you and send that signal to the internal screams that's the mixed or augmented reality part of it a collection of Windows Store app will be supported as well as a bunch of Lenovo specific apps from its own branded entertainment hub with a newer Intel CPU it'll even be able to play some VR content mostly simple stuff like 360 videos without needing a separate graphics card in your laptop or desktop these Lenovo Explorer is expected in October at 349 or 449 if you add a set of handheld motion controllers
