You’ve probably watched the Avengers saga by now, so why not relive the action by becoming your favorite superhero? Lenovo’s latest experience with its Mirage AR headset will place you into the shoes of some of your favorite heroes, using new controllers specifically made for this alternative augmented reality experience that is powered by your smartphone. This comes after the success of its lightsaber-wielding experience with Star Wars: Jedi Challenges released last year. The timing for Lenovo’s Marvel Dimension of Heroes couldn’t be any more perfect given the huge popularity of several Marvel movies released this year.
Those already familiar with Lenovo’s Mirage AR headset will instantly know what to expect with this newest experience. Swapping out lightsabers and the Jedi in favor of Marvel’s heroes and the superpowers that come with each character, Dimension of Heroes has gamers wielding not just one controller, but two for some interesting hand movement gestures to cast special powers and attacks. With a controller in each hand, Dimension of Heroes already amps up the action over Jedi Challenges because it’s going to be more involved.
We spent a little bit of time checking out the new controllers, which are grasped with our fists sort of closed. Two buttons sit right next to our middle and index fingers, while our thumbs rest on the analog stick. The controllers themselves feel relatively lightweight, so they don’t become too burdensome during long gameplay sessions. There are also brightly colored LEDs that light up the controllers and they work in conjunction with the tracking beacon to deliver spatial and movement tracking with the AR headset.
There will be a total of six superheroes to choose from in Dimension of Heroes: Captain America, Thor, Captain Marvel, Black Panther, Doctor Strange, and Star-Lord. While that’s a solid cast, we didn’t get the chance to see the AR experience in action for ourselves. From what we were told, it doesn’t deviate from the footprint established by Jedi Challenges — so you can expect an original story where you’re battling against super villains like Dormammu, Loki, Ronan the Accuser, Ultron Prime, and the Winter Soldier. In addition to the Story Mode, there will also be a Survival Mode that will have you battling against an endless wave of enemies. And finally, you can partner up with a friend in co-op Mode, but they’ll need to have their own set of controllers, headset, and tracking beacon.
Fans of the Avengers have a promising new experience to check out when Dimension of Heroes goes on sale for $250 starting on September 6. For those who already own the Lenovo Mirage AR headset with last year’s release of Jedi Challenges, they can simply download Dimension of Heroes through the App Store and Google Play at no cost. However, they will be required to purchase the Dual Universal Controllers through Lenovo’s web site.
Are you tired of paying for streaming services you never watch just to get a phone plan feature you actually want? T-Mobile has good news for you! The carrier is rolling out new plans, called T-Mix, in early November to replace its old Experience lineup with a build-your-own perks system called Picks.
The benefits you choose vary from streaming and gaming to food delivery, AI, satellite service, and phone discounts. But if you are satisfied with your existing plan, you can keep it.
Merely days after the iPhone Duo hit the shelves, images of broken screens on the phone started popping up across social media. Until now, it’s been unclear what’s causing the line of defective pixels that appears vertically along the crease, as well as horizontally, on the phone’s inner display.
Apple has finally acknowledged the issue, which has shown up on iPhone Duo units owned by customers as well as demo units in stores. In a statement shared with Bloomberg, Apple says that not all iPhone Duo units are affected and that those that are tend to show the display fault early on. The company added that users who experience problems with their iPhone Duo display should contact AppleCare for a replacement.
Not long ago, Apple treated independent repair like an act of outright hostility. The Cupertino giant locked down parts with serial-number pairing, while repair tools remained firmly out of reach of anyone outside its authorized repair network. More importantly, the company waged a legal and lobbying battle against right-to-repair legislation.
I've covered enough of these fights over the years to know what a shift looks like. That's why what happened in October 2026 genuinely caught me off guard. The day the iPhone Duo went on sale, what may be the most mechanically complex iPhone to date, Apple pulled off a surprising about-face. It published teardown-style repair manuals for a handful of major components.
