Lenovo hails ‘unique’ technology from Irish firm

Chinese technology giant Lenovo has hailed the “unique” Irish technology that will underpin its next generation of products as it looks to make inroads in the growing virtual reality market.

Lenovo has inked a deal with Irish firm Movidius to provide cutting edge technology to a variety of new Lenovo products.

The deal means Lenovo will be able to source Movidius’ ultra-low-power chip, Myriad 2, which can be used for a range of tasks including head tracking, gesture recognition, and enabling virtual reality video.
