In what is becoming trend in the tech industry, Lenovo is the latest company to launch a USB-C monitor made for your face. The new Lenovo Glasses T1 revealed at IFA 2022 put a Full HD OLED screen in front of each of your eyes. The new wearable is similar to other smart glasses currently on the market, putting two 1080p micro-OLED screens in front of your eyes.

Unlike many other wearable concepts and products expected to come to market soon, the Lenovo Glasses T1 doesn’t have any VR or AR experiences, and you can’t safely walk around wearing them as your vision would be entirely obscured. They also need to be tethered to your input source at all times to work.
What it does differently to those aforementioned devices is allow users to stay put wherever they may be and enjoy content as if it was an actual TV or monitor. The wearable makes it feel like you’re in a big theatre, with additional immersion. It can be used to watch content, play games or interact with confidential documentation without anyone else being the wiser.
Lenovo is betting that mobile gamers will want these glasses, too, citing a Global Industry Analysts report that predicts a $160 billion global market for that industry by 2026. Similarly, it’s expecting the eclipsing video streaming market to mean more people might want to watch shows inside their own T1 bubbles.
Additionally, the glasses come with multiple nose pads that’ll be helpful for extended use and a prescription frame if you need it. The T1 glasses are battery-powered but can pull power from capable devices. They also have built-in speakers in case you want only the video to be ultra-private.
Like many other display glasses, the Lenovo Glasses T1 will be released for the Chinese market first.
