Today, Lenovo announced new detachable and convertible 2-in-1 laptops, and a new immersive headset built for Windows Mixed Reality: the Lenovo Explorer.

The headset tracks your movements with fidelity and spatial awareness, so you can move around naturally in an area of 3.5 by 3.5 meters (about 11.5 by 11.5 feet) without constantly reorienting yourself. No external sensors are needed, which means you can set it up in minutes by simply connecting a cable to your PC.
