Lenovo Mirage Solo Daydream Headset Starts at $450, Supports WorldSense... xda-developers Jan 10, 2018 3:05 AM • by Kyle Wiggers Lenovo Mirage Solo Daydream Headset Starts at $450, Supports WorldSense Inside-Out Tracking It was a just over two weeks ago that Lenovo's Mirage Solo headset stopped by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC), and on Tuesday, Lenovo made it official. At a press event during the 2018 Consumer Electronics Show, the company took the wraps off the Mirage Solo, a self-contained virtual reality (VR) Google Daydream headset with inside-out tracking. The Mirage Solo's the first with Google's WorldSense technology, which uses a two-camera array to track your location in three-dimensional space. It offers six degrees of freedom (6DOF), letting you duck and dodge behind digital walls without the need for a controller, and the tracking isn't just limited to your head. It keeps abreast of your body movements, too, within a range of about five feet. The Mirage Solo's smooth plastic exterior, which sports an adjustable head strap, houses hardware powerful enough to drive VR apps and games. There's a 5.5-inch Quad HD (2560×1440) display with a 110-degree field of view, a Qualcomm Snapdragon 8345 processor paired with 4GB of RAM, and 64GB of UFS storage (expandable via microSD slot). It's all powered by a 4,000mAh battery that Lenovo says lasts up to seven hours.

Lenovo's positioning the Mirage Solo as the perfect compliment to its YouTube-focused VR180 Mirage Camera, which it announced separately on Tuesday. Viewing 360-degree footage on the Solo's as easy as popping the VR180's SD card into the headset and pulling up the build-in video player. The Mirage Solo ships with a controller nearly identical to the one that comes with Google's Daydream View headset, with the exception of new volume and power buttons. Lenovo hasn't revealed a specific ship date yet, but expects the Solo to hit retail in the second quarter of 2018 for $450.
