On the afternoon of October 26, 2022, Pangpang was invited to participate in the YOGA Smart Glasses T1 media tasting meeting and first experienced the YOGA Smart Glasses T1. Pangpang learned that T1 made its debut at IFA in the International Consumer Electronics Exhibition and was rated as the most noteworthy technology product in IFA 2022 by many overseas media. The smart glasses are equipped with BOE Micro OLED screen technology, which can be directly expanded by plug-and-play, and can carry a large screen anywhere.
"YOGA smart glasses T1 is a product that starts from consumers' usage habits today and then combines the full-domain digitalization brought by the future-oriented metaverse," said Xie Ming, BU strategy and product director of Emerging Tech Solutions.
YOGA smart glasses T1 is the exploration and practice of Lenovo in the field of consumption. The two lenses of
YOGA smart glasses T1 are equipped with the top Micro-OLED screen developed by BOE. They can achieve a resolution of 1920*1080 in size less than 1/10 of the display area of the mobile phone screen. The pixel density of is the highest among similar products.
Such a high pixel density Micro-OLED display must be combined with a customized design and optimized optical system to produce a picture that can be viewed by the human eye. YOGA smart glasses T1 therefore chose the Nedga free curved diamond AR optical solution, which was developed by Lenovo Group and Nedga. Finally, wearing it can provide the visual effect of an ultra-large-sized TV in the field of view.
In addition, compared with other similar products on the market that use Birdbath optical solutions, the free-surface lens and customized and optimized optical design used by YOGA smart glasses T1 for the first time can only be imaged from the user's perspective, and the displayed content cannot be seen from the outside of the glasses, greatly protecting user privacy.
It is worth mentioning that YOGA smart glasses T1 now also has the beta version of the suspension function. Through this function, the screen can be fixed in a relative position in the space. If it is connected to an laptop , it can easily simulate a multi-screen office experience in public places.
In the actual live experience, the first good impression that YOGA smart glasses T1 gave Pangpang is plug-and-play. In addition to the tablet provided on site, Pangpang's Samsung mobile phone can also be realized. It is worth mentioning that the glasses will directly activate the Samsung DEX desktop, so after connecting to the Samsung phone, Pangpang can directly see the PC-like page, which is horizontal, not vertical, mobile phone mode.
Another point worth mentioning is that glasses also support detachable lenses that can determine the system number, which is very considerate for patients with high myopia like Pangpang. A pair of 550° glasses were provided on site (a variety of degrees can be selected), just gently snap to the corresponding position on the glasses, which is very convenient. After putting it on, the viewing experience is very clear and the eyes will not feel uncomfortable.
Pangpang learned that the reason why Lenovo did not use the adjustable degree design used by some of its competitors is because the mechanical structure will bring about weight and optical consistency problems. Users may unconsciously adjust the height during use, resulting in deepening myopia. In comparison, the fixed degree experience can achieve more precise customized lens adaptation.
At the same time, the end of the temple adopts a deformable and adjustable design of memory metal, which can be easily worn by people as big as Pangpang.
I actually experienced the game and watching movies. The picture is clear and the sense of immersion is very strong, equivalent to a large TV with a distance of 3m 81 inches. Even if you look out the window, the visual effect will not be affected by the light. Of course, this may be because yesterday was cloudy and the strong light has not been experienced. If you get the product in the future, Pangpang will further experience it.
Lenovo also provides three nose pads that meet different face shapes and nose shapes. Users can choose the model that suits them according to their nose shape. The overall wear is more comfortable and can meet the needs of long-term wear. In addition, Lenovo also provides anti-slip gaskets for users with smaller or narrower heads.
YOGA smart glasses on both sides of temples, an open stereo sound field is designed to enjoy music without wearing headphones, while also taking into account the surrounding sounds. Of course, if you want a stronger sense of immersion, you can choose to wear headphones.There are also physical buttons for brightness and volume adjustments on the glasses, which can adjust the light and darkness of the picture and the volume.
Compared with its competitors, YOGA smart glasses T1 does not have a battery and high-end computing power. All pictures are implemented through USB-C data cable. Therefore, YOGA smart glasses T1 makes AR glasses more like a pair of glasses, and it is also more like an external monitor. Its transmission principle is no different from the connection between your computer and the monitor through USB-C. In terms of
compatibility, YOGA smart glasses T1 is compatible with most mid-to-high-end PCs, mobile phones, and tablet products under Lenovo. Moto brand smartphones have a built-in client Moto Ready For specially developed for YOGA smart glasses. At the same time, T1 is also compatible with most Windows, Android and MacOS devices equipped with full-featured USB-C. For example, I mentioned earlier that it is very compatible with Samsung phones.
Lenovo YOGA smart glasses T1 comprehensive experience is very good, the design is user-friendly, comfortable to wear, excellent viewing experience, and strong immersion. It can meet all the current users' imaginations of AR glasses. Of course, this is also Lenovo's first step towards the consumer-grade glasses market.
Lenovo said that in the future, Lenovo will combine user feedback, take user experience as an innovation driving force, and continue to update and iterate products, providing more consumers with more portable and more comfortable consumer-grade smart glasses products.
