SINGAPORE \u2014 October 10, 2017:<\/strong>\u00a0Lenovo\u00a0(HKSE: 992) (ADR: LNVGY)\u00a0and Disney today unveiled\u00a0Star Wars<\/em>:\u00a0<\/em>Jedi Challenges, a new augmented reality\u00a0Star Wars<\/em>\u00a0product that allows fans to experience\u00a0Star Wars<\/em>\u00a0in ways never before possible.\u00a0Jedi Challenges\u00a0features a smartphone-powered\u00a0Lenovo\u00a0Mirage AR headset, Tracking Beacon, Lightsaber controller, and hours of\u00a0Star Wars\u00a0<\/em>gameplay.[1]<\/p>\n

\u201cWith\u00a0Star Wars<\/em>: Jedi Challenges,\u00a0Lenovo\u00a0and Disney are bringing\u00a0Star Wars<\/em>\u00a0to fans in ways they could previously only imagine,\u201d said Jeff Meredith,\u00a0Senior Vice President and General Manager of\u00a0Lenovo\u00a0Consumer PCs & Smart Devices. \u201cAugmented Reality has always been an important part of\u00a0Star Wars<\/em>, and it\u2019s exciting to bring these key moments to life by marrying\u00a0Lenovo\u00a0technology with Disney\u2019s storytelling.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWe believe augmented reality will usher in a new era of storytelling and play an important role in the experiences we create for our fans,\u201d said Kyle Laughlin, Senior Vice President, Games and Interactive Experiences, Disney Consumer Products and Interactive Media. \u201cWith\u00a0Star Wars<\/em>: Jedi Challenges, we\u2019re bringing together the latest technology and one of the most recognized franchises in the galaxy to fulfill the wishes of anyone who\u2019s ever wanted to wield a lightsaber or take on the empire forces on the battlefield.\u201d<\/p>\n

Hardware and Technology<\/strong><\/p>\n

Users start by downloading the\u00a0Star Wars:\u00a0<\/em>Jedi Challenges app[2]\u00a0onto their compatible phone and sliding the phone into the tray of the\u00a0Lenovo\u00a0Mirage AR headset. Sleek, portable and lightweight, the\u00a0Lenovo\u00a0Mirage AR headset will provide full gaming immersion with an optimal level of comfort during gameplay. The headset also comes with a Tracking Beacon, which is placed on the floor and acts as a stable base for the headset\u2019s sensors to detect the user\u2019s movement during gameplay.<\/p>\n

Equipped with two built-in fisheye sensors to provide inside-out positional tracking, the headset allows for free and natural motion for the player to move around as they duel opponents or direct their forces and pieces across the battlefield.<\/p>\n

The headset pairs with a collectible-quality Lightsaber controller, modeled after the one wielded by Anakin Skywalker, Luke Skywalker, and Rey. Designed to be a key part of the experience, the Lightsaber acts as a controller and pointer, allowing players to navigate the user interface, with all controls, actions and commands activated with a simple two-button configuration.<\/p>\n

Through visible light-tracking technology, the headset\u2019s sensors work together to lock onto the position of the Lightsaber controller, allowing players to see a beam form above the \u201chilt,\u201d which they can use to block and interact with the universe in-game. Haptic feedback is activated as players strike or block their opponents, while an inertial measurement unit sends rotational information from the controller to the smartphone to assist the beam in remaining stable mid-swing.<\/p>\n
