Lenovo introduces a new pair of enterprise-grade smart glasses that it says is "one of the most advanced and versatile" available. The ThinkReady A3 can be used for tasks like 3D visualization and augmented reality-guided workflows. It comes at a time when the world is "looking to adopt new technologies for smart collaboration. 

Unlike Lenovo's first ThinkReality model (the A6), these glasses look like a pair of chunky sunglasses. Lenovo says it can modify these to have industrial frames to make them sturdier and safer.

The ThinkReality A3 runs on Qualcomm Snapdragon XR1 chipset for virtual and mixed reality headsets. It can display up to five virtual 1080p screens and has an 8-megapixel camera that can produce 1080p clips, too. It also has dual fish-eye cameras for room-scale tracking. You still need to connect this pair of smart glasses to a PC or a Motorola handset running on a Qualcomm Snapdragon 800 series processor or better via USB-C to work.

It will run Windows software and apps if you connect it to a PC, while the mobile connection will rely on Motorola's ThinkReality software platform for hands-free AR activities.

Lenovo is working to offer different applications across industries to use these pair of glasses when space and privacy are limited. It can work in retail, laboratories, and hospitals, among others. Lenovo plans to release this for the enterprise market in some regions starting mid-2021.
