Lenovo Announces the Explorer Windows Mixed Reality Headset

Lenovo's take on the Windows Mixed Reality platform, which we covered a few days ago as featuring Steam VR support and a still-in-its-infancy Halo VR experience, has just been named. The Explorer MR will set you back $349 for just the headset, or $449 for the headset plus a pair of 6-DoF (Degrees of Freedom) controllers.

Lenovo didn't say how much the Explorer HMD weighs, but the usual "comfortable and lightweight," and "finely tuned for perfect balance" have been mentioned. A flip-flop visor allows you to quickly remove the dual 1440x1440 displays from your face, should you need an emergency look at the real world around you. The Lenovo Explorer features inside-out spatial tracking, just like the other Windows MR devices, with two front-mounted cameras handling environment tracking. Trackable space on the Explorer should be around 3.5 x 3.5 meters, likely constrained by the fact that the HMD is tethered via USB and HDMI (tethering that is par-of-the-course for this VR generation.) Specs still haven't been finalized, but pricing is, so we shouldn't look to any substantial differences between the announced and final specifications.

Lenovo Explorer Code 43

Hello DanMellor17,

Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.

To address the issue, kindly help us with the following questions.

1. What is the make and model of the computer?

2. What is the exact error message you read when the headset is connected?

Error 43 is caused by the drivers controlling the device, notifying the Operating System that the device failed in some manner. However, I would recommend you to look for the system requirements to examine if it’s compatible
with Windows 10. To know the specifications, check
Lenovo explorer system requirements.

Also, the issue seems to be with the headset, try connecting the headset to a different PC and check if the issue persists. Kindly look over the following steps and see if it helps.

Step 1: Reinstall the device driver manually.

• From Start, search for device manager and select
  Device Manager from the results.
• Right-click the device in the list.
• Select Uninstall from the menu that appears.
• After the device is uninstalled, choose Action on the
  menu bar.
• Select Scan for hardware changes to reinstall the driver.

Note: You may be prompted to provide the path of the driver. If you are asked for the driver and you do not have it, you can try to download the latest driver from the hardware vendor’s website.

Step 2: Hardware setup.

• Do not connect the Y-cable USB 3.0 connector to the USB 2.0 connector on your computer. Otherwise, the Lenovo Explorer headset might not work correctly.
  
• The maximum allowable distance between the Y-cable connectors is about 38 cm (15 inches). Depending on the distance between the corresponding connectors on your computer, you might need an extension cable, such as a USB 3.0 extension cable, to complete
  the connection.

Additional Information: I would recommend you to go through the article mentioned below for extra information on Mixed Reality headset.

• Troubleshooting Windows Mixed Reality (Refer ‘I
  get a message that says "Connect your headset" even though I’ve plugged in my headset’ steps from the article).
