Lenovo Explorer Mixed Reality Headset and Controllers - Windows 10 - Black - PC Compatible

This was my first time using vr and it was totally mind blowing to me. I was not expecting this level of quality for the price I paid. Sure there might be better experiences out there but this is cheap and works great. No loss of tracking and it really is immersing. If you can pay less than £300 then it's a steal amd hard to say no.

I purchased this in Jan 2019 . Set it up and worked ok briefly !Purchased some games from Microsoft but couldn’t get them to play ! So boxed it back up until my son came down to visit as I thought it was me ( not very technical/PC minded ) He tried it and it would not play at all as need to plug headset into a different usb ! Contacted the seller who refuses to change it due to the time span !On checking more reviews a lot of people have had the same problem and a known fault of the product!Conclusion - waste of money - do not purchase unless you want to do with it as I’m doing !!!!Only good for the bin , so you be better off spending your money on anything but this from Amazon or Box in future!P.S given one star only because you can’t give no stars

Had to buy HDMI and USB long cables so you can move around the room plus it’s a bit tricky to work out how to get it all working but when you do...well VR is impressive. Luckily no one here had problems with the distance between the eyes so the graphics are impressive. Tip for glass wearers is to wear a spare pair and cover in a think layer of washing up liquid to remove any misting. It mists when you start breathing heavily. Lots of demos to try and sales to buy the big titles too. Overall worth it for gamers and technophiles but give it a few more years if you want more mature tech. For less than £200 then why not try now as it does work and no need of those annoying 2/3 cameras other VR sets need.

A great bit of kit with a shaper resolution than the vive or occulus. Very easy to set up on windows 10 which you must have with up to date updates . Very light weight and lift up visor . Buy this and try VR . I bought mine 2nd hand for £200 in June 2018

Came across an amazon warehouse deal for this headset for £246 and decided to give it a go.It definitely works and i was able to get into the Microsoft cliff house (VR Windows) before too long. Also got Steam VR up and running and installed some apps like a VR video player and VR Chat.For sound I used ear buds rather than my big headphones so as not to add too much more weight.You can either set up a space where you're just sitting down, or you can outline a space where you can stand up and move around while in VR. It's pretty easy, you just move the headset around the boundary while pointing it at your computer.You need to have the lights on reasonably bright while youre doing all this and also when starting up Windows Mixed Reality and playing games. If not, Windows will tell you 'we can't find your space'. The lighting is needed so the headset's cameras can see the controllers and the space.It's really great when everything's working, but very often in the few days I've had it, things stop working.This goes for sound (Windows fails to start the right sound driver sometimes), controllers, bluetooth, Steam VR and I'm sure others that I've forgotten. Only today i spent 40 minutes troubleshooting my controllers which decided to disappear.I tried an art gallery tour app from Steam. With that one I was stuck at reception being told to 'take a pamphlet' which i couldnt take, unable to move anywhere. No button did anything. There are never any help menus on anything.It takes a while to get the headset comfortable and lined up right so you have a decent view. With all the problems, you're constantly having to take it all off again to fix the latest thing that's decided to stop working. It's a real nuisance. You basically can't fix anything in the VR cartoon world. Apps on Steam VR don't even seem to have a way of exiting them and going back to Steam VR home. You end up having to go back to the Microsoft house.Hopefully I'll have a better experience going forward. Going to keep the headset for sure.

Desperately wanted to like this. I have an Oculus Rift which is hooked up to my racing setup in a dedicated room and as I wanted to mess around with VR in a front room, I thought this would be a quick solution with no need for sensors etc so a good plug and play option. Unfortunately whilst it is plug and play it's nowhere near the quality of an Oculus Rift or HTC Vive. The biggest problem is there's no physical IPD adjustment and the software is limited to 67mm which means anyone outside of this will really struggle with eye strain/visuals. As the IPD is limited physically, adjusting by software doesn't move the sweet spot so I can only assume the more adjustment you use the smaller the sweet spot. Due to the IPD limitations I could not get a clear image on both eyes and could not use the headset for more than a few minutes before getting eye strain. I've had all the Rift iterations since being a kickstarter so I know what a VR experience should be like and unfortunately this is the first headset since then that's failed to meet expectations.Also the foam for the nose piece does not seem to be fixed so moved around differently every time I put the headset on.I am really disappointed with this, it was so promising and I really wanted to love it. I'll probably bring my Rift into the front room from time to time, I have spare sensors which I can leave set up but the prospect of inside out tracking is something I want so may even look at importing a Samsung Odyssey. Who knows.Needless to say the Lenovo is back in the box and on it's way back to Amazon.

Perfect entry to VR. All games work well and the tracking is ok, not issues at all. Just make sure you install all your graphics card drivers and update your Windows and everything should work fine. I am enjoying a lot playing Beats Saber, just an amazing experience.

Should of got a rift it rubbish and doesn't really work with enscape
