This episode features Nathan Pettyjohn and Mike Lohse at Lenovo.
Nathan is the Commercial AR/VR Lead at Lenovo. He is also the founder and president of the VR/AR Association and the annual VR/AR Global Summit. Previously Nathan was also the founder and CEO of venture-backed asile411, a mobile indoor navigation and 3D product cloud platform.
Mike is the Hardware Product Manager for Commercial AR/VR at Lenovo. Previously Mike spent 9 years at ODG, which for a long time was the premier creator of AR glasses. As the VP of Advanced Products there, he was behind the impressive R7, R8, and R9 glasses.
In this conversation, Nathan, Mike, and I chat about the key use cases that Lenovo’s customers want to solve with spatial computing, and where AR or VR fit in the mix. We talk about the challenges of moving projects beyond initial pilots as well as Lenovo’s role in delivering holistic, end-to-end AR and VR solutions to companies. This includes software, services, and hardware.
We talk about Lenovo’s ThinkReality A6 headset and the lessons learned in the two years since its release. We also discuss the new ThinkReality A3. This new device tethers to a smartphone or PC to satisfy industrial or work-from-home productivity needs. We discuss how this new product fits with offerings from Microsoft and RealWear, and the device agnostic approach Lenovo is taking to meet the needs of their customers.
