Connected Home

Lenovo designed the Lenovo Smart Assistant, a new mainstream digital personal assistant, with Amazon Alexa cloud-based voice services. Built in collaboration with Amazon, the Lenovo Smart Assistant recognizes users' voice commands to conduct web searches, play music, create lists, calendar reminders and much more. And because Alexa's brains are in the cloud, it means she's always getting smarter. The Lenovo Smart Assistant is also designed to run Lenovo smart home devices, as well as scores of existing third-party products to expand user options.

Lenovo Smart Storage is a digital storage solution with 6TB capacity, dual-band wireless access and multi-device auto-sync capabilities. Designed for security and P2P (peer-to-peer) access to stored media like photos, music and documents, Lenovo Smart Storage offers users quick control of data and files. Its integrated facial recognition software can organize an entire photo library based on faces with high accuracy.

The new Lenovo 500 Multimedia Controller is wireless keyboard and mouse that fits in the palm of your hand. The keyboard area doubles as a Windows 10 gesture-supported, multi-touch capacitive touchpad-meaning that users can type like a normal keypad with their thumbs or glide their fingers across the surface like a touchpad.

The Lenovo 500 Multimedia Controller offers up to 65.6 ft (20 m)4 of wireless range and weighs just 0.31 lbs (141 g).

AR/VR Experiences with Phab 2 Pro Apps

The first Tango enabled smartphone, the Lenovo Phab 2 Pro is now available online and on shelves. To enable Tango, the Lenovo Phab 2 Pro is equipped with a set of sensors that capture 250,000 measurements a second, processing information through motion tracking, area learning and depth sensing. The apps that use this technology are now opening up a wave of new AR and VR experiences in the areas of shopping, games, interior design and education. These include apps such as iStaging, Matterport and Hot Wheels Track Builder.

New Glass C200 Adds Smart Glasses to Portfolio

At CES 2017, Lenovo is also showcasing Lenovo New Glass C200 (along with compatible AR software), a smart glass product that leverages the augmented reality (AR) and artificial intelligence (AI) technolofies.

Lenovo New Glass C200 is a monocular smart glass system that recognizes and identifies real-life objects using AI technologies. The product comes with two main parts, a Glass Unit and Pocket Unit. The Glass Unit is lightweight, under 60 grams, and runs on Linux operating system. It only uses one eye, enhancing a user's perception of "mixed reality" while viewing the AR world simultaneous to the real world. After downloading the New Glass app to your smartphone and plugging the Pocket Unit into the phone, the Lenovo New Glass C200 system runs with more processing power, and offers enhanced CPU performance and an LTE connection to the smart glass. There are accessories in the box available for you to place the Pocket Unit on your belt or in your pocket. The New Glass C200 allows you to gather information in your field of view, provide step-by-step directions and instructions for repair, identify disabled equipment and trouble shoot issues with a remote colleague all while your hands are free.

Lenovo New Glass C200 recognizes about 20 kinds of objects, such as building schematics within a real-life image and uses AI recognition software, named Lenovo NBD Martin, to identify the image it is viewing and label it using bounding boxes and annotations. Lenovo has created Lenovo NBD Martin to perceive a scene or object through "computer vision," then act as an AI assistant to help identify what the image actually is in real-time. It analyzes data coming from the smart glass camera, sensors and user habit history and combines that insight with user interaction such as voice commands, gestures and pressed buttons to act as an AI assistant, providing commercial users with access to information and tools needed to complete their job.

As part of the smart solution, Lenov is also unveiling a software platform Lenovo NBD Titan, which lets users at all level of developer skills create and edit AR content quickly. This solution brings AR to every user with visual editing software that can operate on a multitude of devices and platforms. Users can immerse themselves in an AR world with AR Content Builder and Space Visitor, which allows users to manipulate and edit items in an AR scene. For example, this will make home improvement and interior design easier, offering an AR space to experiment with interesting architectures and designs-all without requiring coding or developer skills.
