Pros and cons

According to our VR headset expert

With an adjustable headband, you can comfortably wear the VR headset on your head.
Thanks of the 110-degree field of view, you won't suffer from annoying blind spots.
Thanks to internal tracking capabilities, you don't need external sensors.
This VR headset is only suitable for gaming if you have a powerful gaming PC or laptop with at least an Nvidia GeForce GTX 1060.
The controllers of this VR headset run on AA batteries, instead of a rechargeable battery.

Description

With the Lenovo Explorer Mixed Reality HMD, you can dive deep into VR without needing separate sensors. This Mixed Reality gear follows the movements of the gear itself, without needing external sensors. This makes it a simple case of connecting it to a suitable Windows 10 PC and you can get started with this gear right where you are. Thanks to the 2 included motion controllers, you can interact directly with the virtual objects, such as throwing a virtual ball by mimicking the right moves or operating a virtual television. Do you want to go back to the real world completely? Just flip the glasses up to have a conversation and fold them back down when you want to continue.

Good value for money VR that comes straight out of the box

Works right out of the box
With the inside-out tracking the ability to move without having to place beacons
Trackers run on batteries and not on battery

I was able to get started quickly. Students got a good experience in VR very quickly, which resulted in fun ideas for uses other than gaming

Review is 5,6 out of 10.

Easy but not for the hardcore VR players

Plug and play
no external sensors
high resolution
Tracking of controllers is bad

within 10 minutes that the headset is in you can already play with it, it's that easy. There is a very big disadvantage to this, because there are no external sensors, when your controllers fall out of sight of the headset they will fly out of your view and during a game this can be very frustrating.

the headset screens are a higher resolution than the original Vive and the oculus rift. This makes text that is further away easier and generally a sharper image. It is an LCD screen, which also ensures a wiped image.

Finally, there is no extra software with the purchase, you have to buy it yourself. the occulus rift you get when you buy it already 7 different apps for which you normally have to pay (hence bad value for money).

So if you don't have a lot of space, you don't feel like placing all sensors or you want to move your setup often, then this headset might be for you. If that is not the case and you want a really good VR experience, I recommend purchasing a different kind of headset. This is also the case with me which is why I don't recommend this headset, which is mostly due to the poor tracking of the controllers.
