The Mirage Solo is big, bigger than a pair of Daydream View VR goggles. The headset felt comfortable, though. It still uses the standard Daydream VR remote to control things and point to objects. It has a touchpad, but only has three-degree-of-freedom movement, lacks haptics and feels less immersively linked to what's being seen in VR. It's a fine magic wand, but I hoped for something more. The headset runs on a Qualcomm Snapdragon 835 processor, much like many Android Daydream-compatible phones. It has a 2,560x1,440-pixel, 5.5-inch LCD display, 64GB of onboard storage and a 4,000mAh battery. It's unclear how long it'll last on a charge. And, since it's a completely enclosed system, it runs its own Google Daydream OS. It was hard to tell how that OS was different than Android: The general VR experience felt similar to what launches on a Daydream-ready phone.
Two fisheye lenses, stereoscopic 180-degree shots: Mirage Camera with Daydream, Lenovo and Google also have another trick up their sleeves: a camera that takes 3D 180-degree photos and videos, The Mirage Camera with Daydream, as it's formally called, is an oddity, It has no screen and just syncs directly with a phone, It can upload to YouTube and Google Photos and livestream, and its half-a-360-video viewing zone is meant to look good on the Mirage Solo VR headset and be easy to take presidio ultra case for apple iphone 7 plus and 8 plus - black quick snaps with..
I saw a few demo photos and videos, and they seemed OK. A bit low in frame rate, and not as crisp, when played in a VR headset, as a regular high-end phone camera would feel on a phone screen. It seems designed to capture magic moments and see them again like little 3D dioramas. You'll need your phone to see what you're shooting. Playing demo clips back on the VR headset showed a bit of the potential: a birthday party clip made me think of my own kids. But why would I grab a strange new camera instead of my phone or another camera when my kid's blowing out the candles on his cake?.
The Mirage Camera has its own Snapdragon 626 processor, a microSD card slot and a battery that lasts 2 hours on a charge, recharging via USB-C, The dual 13-megapixel fisheye cameras can't zoom: You're meant to just capture what's in front of you and go with the flow, As a sort of GoPro camera for a future of 3D VR, I'm not convinced I'd ever remember to use it, Lenovo is targeting a price under $300 (about £220 or AU$385) for the camera, and under $400 (about £295 or AU$510) for the VR headset, Both of those prices seem high, especially since the Oculus Go, another phone-free presidio ultra case for apple iphone 7 plus and 8 plus - black standalone VR headset from Facebook, is coming soon for half the price ($200)..
How good a device like the Mirage Solo is depends on the apps that take advantage of it. And I have a concern future hardware will pass it by. Maybe it's Google Daydream VR 1.5. It's a better experience, but without even knowing how good the Oculus Go will be, the Lenovo Mirage Solo feels like a hard headset to judge.. and one I'd be unlikely to pick over a pair of cheap goggles and a great phone.
