Holding the lightsaber while using the gear will provide the user a realistic digital blade.
The Star Wars: Jedi Challenges revolves in a strategy game to fight off the forces of Resistance and the First Order. It also features the holographic chess or Holochess played by C-3PO and Chewbacca in the Star Wars movie installment in 1977, the Star Wars: A New Hope.
Sooner, Disney and Lenovo will include six other villains including Darth Maul to give the user an awesome experience in battling against Star Wars antagonists. Just like any ordinary AR headsets, the gear also requires the use of smartphone as a tool to utilize and provide computing muscle for the game.

Indeed, Disney and Lenovo have pulled-off a very innovative AR gear that has impressive features and specifications. It has a wider field of view that any user will find advantageous while on the game. With a price of $199, the headset denotes and promises value for money.
