The coolest thing you didn't see at CES 2020
A stunning 8k, 3D display. And no glasses, thankfully, unlike the failed 3D TVs. Why didn't you see it? It wasn't on the show floor. But I did, high up in the Venetian, and I'm wondering ...
Consumer VR officially arrived two years ago, but now the immersive tech is officially worth a look.
A collaboration between Lenovo and Google, the Mirage Solo is the first hardware that combines Google's Daydream VR platform for Android with WorldSense, a tracking system that uses cameras built into the headset to track users around a room. The Mirage Solo is a standalone device with a Snapdragon 835 processor and built-in screen. It improves on the Oculus Go's tracking capabilities. Whereas the Go tracks head rotation, the Mirage Solo uses WorldSense to track movement through a room. But so far the catalog of games that make use of WorldSense tracking do so in a limited capacity, which makes Mirage Solo feel too much like a compromise between a mobile headset and a full-featured tethered headset. It's a good start, though, and if the catalog of games grows, this could be a strong competitor to the Oculus Go.
