Lenovo has unveiled its own range of smart glasses in China. Lenovo hopes to capture the Chinese market with the local language feature. Lenovo displayed a prototype of the M100 smart glasses (Android 4.0.4) at a press conference in Beijing yesterday. The M100’s Chinese-language software and applications make them suitable for Chinese users, to a level that other smart glasses cannot reach especially the Google Glass. With Vuzix providing hardware support, the M100 features OMAP4460 at 1GHz processor, WQVGA Color display (432 x 244 pixels), voice and gesture recognition, 5-megapixel camera, 1080p video and a built-in storage of 12 GB. It also supports Wi-Fi and Bluetooth.
Target users for M100’s mainly will be industrial customers with medical, remote maintenance, and materials management businesses. Besides the M100, Lenovo is launching a “New Glass” eyewear device for ordinary individuals. Lenovo M100 will be on sale in China this October for approximately 8,000 yuan (about US$1,290). A Google Glass 2 sold in the Chinese mainland costs US$613 more. The M100 smart glasses measure 158.75 x 47.62 x 34.92 mm and weighs 51 g.
