Lenovo's Legion Glasses are a niche luxury for gamers, but it turns our they're perfect for something much more specific: ASMR.
It was Wednesday night and I was sick as a dog with some mysterious virus. Waves of nausea and brain fogging left me too weak to sit up. I was on my back for the night — and that gave me the perfect opportunity to test my fancy new AR glasses.
Related Gaming on Legion Glasses The Legion Glasses are Lenovo’s venture into the emerging AR glass market. It’s a space that’s already given us some strong devices like the XREAL Air 2 as manufacturers are innovating quickly. Lenovo’s stab at the tech is easy to grasp: It’s a pair of sunglasses with two micro-OLED displays behind the frames. You simply plug it into your device of choice via USB and they magically transform into an external monitor that sits on your face.
It didn’t take much effort to get set up. All I needed to do was strap on the glasses and plug them into my Legion Go. That’s it. The glasses themselves don’t require much fiddling either. There are no buttons to tweak focus like a VR headset, so all I really had to manage was speaker volume and brightness . Granted, I quickly wished I did have more options to tweak the display. During my testing, the image always tended to be a little blurry for me, especially at the edges of the frames.
For the uninitiated, ASMR refers to a pleasant tingling sensation that some people experience when hearing certain soft noises. That’s led to a bevy of content creators over the years who’ve created an entire genre of ASMR videos. These clips, which populated YouTube in the millions, feature sound artists whispering in binaural microphones and crafting relaxing soundscapes. I’ve watched videos like this for years to help with my anxiety and calm my brain down on stressful nights.
