      Lenovo has released a Hololense like game that uses your phone.

      Sure, if you want them staring into your soul and stealing your thoughts while you think you are playing a video game...

      Honestly, once a company pulls a "Lenovo", I won't support them anymore.

        I used one of these already (or something like it) a co-worker brought it in for the Extra-Life event that we ran a few weeks ago.

        Was it maybe a real Hololense?

        Mighta been, I was kind of drunk while using it so I don't recall exactly.

        It looks like this

        No it was more "full" if that makes sense for the screen design and what not. It wasn't the Sun Ray glasses look shown there.

          @JaredBusch we were acutally playing a Jedi and light saber game where we had to kill the storm troopers.

          It was pretty cool.

            It comes with the Millenium Falcon Battle Chess game? And Lightsaber fighting? If there was ever a reason to abandon principles(not buying Lenovo), it is those 2 things.
            Wow, that is stuff i dreamt about.

              See, the thing with AR, is that you'll be learning to get used to seeing things that aren't really there... that can't be good!

                Likely it was WHAT @Dashrender linked then..

                  Other pictures of this thing definitely look like Rey's googles from EP 7

                    I think I'm going to break the embargo and buy it.

                        The power of the dark side is too strong for this one.

                          Them's some strong ties to the force if you get your company to buy this for you.

                                I'm ok with it. AR had the potential to make life so much easier/better... not having to remember people's names is going to be the best use of this technology for me.

                                  Here here - they ever get this into contact lenses or an implant that just uses the optic nerve .. definitely cool thinking.. if not freaky as hell because of horrible we humans are at making secure technology.

                                    and here I never thought I'd ever buy a Lenovo product. I'm actually mad

                                      That's the whole reason for this post.

                                        You have watched Black Mirror, right? The true potential horror lies not in the security but in the fact the technology is being used by humans.

                                          I've seen one or two episodes - the like status one was just horrible. Then The Orville did a parody of it, damn.. it is a scary thought!

                                            I have yet to see a truly bad Black Mirror episode. They are delightfully dystopian.
