The Lenovo Mirage AR is a smartphone-powered augmented reality headset released in 2017.

Consumer impact summary
[edit | edit source]The Mirage AR had no onboard processing: it displayed content from a companion app running on the user's smartphone, and could not be used without one.[1] When the companion apps were retired in 2022, the hardware was left without the software required to use it. The retirement notices stated that, in accordance with the Disney Terms of Use, Disney is not responsible for providing refunds or credits for missions or game features that may no longer be available once an app is retired.[3][4]
