The new glasses allow you to watch media or play games on a large, high-quality virtual screen and in privacy, wherever you want.

We are at the dawn of a new technological era. After years of smart wearable products, which mainly collected data on us, in recent years the integration between wearable products and entertainment has begun, and one of the products of the revolution is the Lenovo Legion Glass, Lenovo's glasses that will allow you to play or watch any media you want, wherever you want and at your own time.

The Legion Glass glasses give you a personal, wearable and ready-to-use monitor with ease. You just have to connect them to any supporting device via a fully functional USB-C port (laptops or supporting phones) and the monitor will immediately be displayed for you in Lenovo's comfortable glasses. Those who own the Lenovo Legion Go portable gaming console will find that it also has a port that supports glasses, so you don't have to worry about the screen.

Three things that are important to note about the glasses: they are not VR glasses, secondly, it is not augmented reality, meaning there are no options for apps or Pokemon search, and thirdly, the screen display is high quality with vivid colors and no blurring, so there is no problem using them for extended periods of time. Its high-contrast Micro-OLED screen provides an exceptional viewing experience. They project an extended virtual display, just like a huge screen, so that the content is only visible to you. They offer you complete privacy without cutting you off from your surroundings. Thanks to almost zero external light leakage, no one will be able to see what you are watching on the screen. The display is centered right in front of you, but if you look down while watching you will still see the "real world", so you can check messages on your phone or communicate with the environment without taking off your glasses and disconnecting yourself from the game or the viewing experience.

It is also important to emphasize that the glasses do not require any customized software or pre-loading, they turn on immediately, just like a screen at the moment of connection to the device. It's important to remember that because they take power from the device they're connected to, they'll eat up its battery pretty quickly, so if you're going to watch a long movie or play for a long time, keep that in mind. The glasses weigh about 96 grams, so they are much lighter than the VR gear but heavier than a normal pair of glasses, however they are very comfortable and did not pinch me in any way. In addition, when purchasing the glasses, you also receive 3 adjustable nose pads, a carrying case, a frame for prescription lenses, an anti-slip adapter and a cleaning cloth.

I really enjoyed playing and watching content using the screen of the glasses, everything looks great. I must say that most of those who will use the device will prefer to connect headphones with noise cancellation, because the built-in speakers are not suitable if you are looking for a real disconnection from the outside world, especially in games. But overall if you are in a sterile area they will also do the job. Playing the games on the big screen was definitely an interesting experience, and most importantly I didn't feel fatigue, eye pain and headache, which sometimes happens in my travels in the virtual world. Recommended price for the consumer is NIS 1,249.
