Lenovo is the latest company to launch a USB-C display , called Glasses T1 , made for your face. The new Lenovo Glasses T1 put a Full HD OLED display in front of your eyes and were unveiled today during IFA and Lenovo 's virtual showcase .
This wearable private display , as Lenovo calls it, is very similar to other consumer smart glasses , including TCL's NxtWear Air , which puts two 1080p micro-OLED displays in front of your eyes, just like Lenovo's T1 . Another similar product is the Nreal Air , although that has a 90Hz screen refresh rate compared to the T1's 60Hz.

You won't get VR or AR experiences with these types of glasses, and you can't walk around safely wearing them , as your vision will be greatly altered and the cord keeps them tethered to whatever source they're connected to . In contrast, the Lenovo Glasses T1 are designed to keep you still as if you were watching a real TV or monitor, but the effect it gives you is like a giant theater screen . You can watch movies, play games, and do your confidential digital paperwork while looking like Marvel 's Daredevil .
Lenovo is betting that mobile gamers will also want the Lenovo Glasses T1, citing a Global Industry Analysts that predicts a $160 billion for the industry by 2026. Similarly, it expects the overshadowing of the video streaming market to mean more people want to watch shows on their own T1 displays.
The Lenovo Glasses T1 use a physical cable to connect to devices like PCs, tablets, smartphones, Macs , and other devices that can output video via USB-C. If you want to use the glasses with iOS devices , like your iPhone, you'll need to purchase Lenovo's HDMI adapter as well as Apple's Digital AV adapter . The Glasses T1 also work with Motorola 's "Ready For" secondary interface that lets you use desktop-style apps.

Additionally, the glasses come with plenty of nose pads that will come in handy for extended use and a frame for prescription glasses if you need them. The Lenovo Glasses T1 are battery-, but can draw power from devices. They also have built-in speakers in case you just want the video to be super private.
Like many other display glasses, the Lenovo Glasses T1 will be released first for the Chinese market. In China , they're called Lenovo Yoga Glasses and will arrive by the end of the year. The company also plans to release them in "select markets" later in 2023. No pricing has been announced.
