Lenovo is well known for breaking out the proof of concept devices at this show, and I love that they try new things. I covered most of these proof of concept devices in some of the other Lenovo announcements, but here they are in one article.

Lenovo Proof of Concept
From the new ThinkPad™ Rollable XD Concept and the Lenovo Personal AI Hub Concept to the Lenovo AI Glasses Concept and the Lenovo Smart Sense Display Concept, Lenovo is envisioning personal AI computing solutions that can empower users to do more, work smarter, and live better. New Lenovo concepts also include the Legion™ Pro Rollable Proof-of-Concept and a series of Motorola concepts.
ThinkPad Rollable XD Proof of Concept
The ThinkPad Rollable XD Concept is Lenovo’s bold reimagining of the laptop PC — extending screen real estate, expanding the user experience, and exceeding what was previously thought possible. The concept is one of the world’s first out-folding devices with a world-facing display and expanding user-facing screen. The bold design enables multitasking, collaboration, and personalization like never before.
Building from Lenovo’s legacy of cutting-edge PC designs, such as the ThinkPad X1 Fold, the world’s first foldable PC, and the first of its kind ThinkBook™ Plus Gen 6 Rollable AI laptop, the concept device transforms from a compact 13.3” to a near 16” workspace, supporting on-the-go multitasking and adaptive workflows. Offering users over fifty percent more screen real estate without having to carry around a larger 16-inch notebook.
The ThinkPad Rollable XD Concept’s Swipe to X touch gestures and voice controls enable users to easily launch apps or switch modes on command or with the stroke of a finger. The device’s transparent 180° Corning® Gorilla® Glass Victus® 2 cover, jointly developed by Lenovo and Corning, ensures durability and showcases Lenovo’s engineering prowess by displaying the intricate workings that power the rolling screen.
With AI-driven features like live translation, voice assistant, multi-modal, and lid-closed interactions, the ThinkPad Rollable XD Concept unlocks new workflows for hybrid professionals, retail signage, and one-to many user scenarios. The groundbreaking device isn’t just a PC — it’s a platform for delivering smarter outcomes: more efficient work, richer engagement, and future-ready innovation.
Lenovo Personal AI Hub Proof of Concept
Project Kubit, Lenovo’s Personal AI Hub Concept, is a personal edge cloud device to support AI-enabled applications across the numerous PCs, smartphones, wearables, and smart-home solutions in a consumer’s ecosystem. Housing two ThinkStation™ PGX compact AI workstations, built on NVIDIA® GB10 Grace Blackwell Superchip, behind a transparent touchscreen display, the hub harvests data across platforms for an individual to access new levels of analytics and AI-enabled applications to evolve with the user and provide high-performance personal AI computing experiences. Touch- and voice-activated, the personal AI hub supports a powerful, personal AI experience based on the limitless wealth of interactions an individual has with their own technology every day and extends the frontiers of smarter technology for all.
AI at a Glance — Lenovo AI Glasses Proof of Concept
Lenovo’s AI Glasses Concept transforms how users interact with their surroundings and unifies their workflow, offering a blend of AI assistance, multimedia control, and multi-device integration.
Wirelessly tethered to a smart device, the AI glasses feature intuitive touch and voice controls, hands-free calling, a teleprompter for presentations and speaking engagements, and music playback. Users can stay connected to their personal technology without ever reaching for a phone or PC.
Powered by Lenovo Qira, the concept leverages AI capabilities from paired smartphones or PCs to deliver sub-millisecond live translation and intelligent image recognition — bringing instant understanding and context to what users see and hear. As users start their day, they can quickly get up to speed with the Catch Me Up feature, which displays a summary of their notifications across multiple devices.
Weighing just 45g, the Lenovo AI Glasses Concept merges comfort with cutting-edge design to deliver up to 8 hours of productivity and entertainment. The smart glasses embody a vision of seamless, AI-enhanced living, where technology works seamlessly with you all day long.
AI-Powered Display Proof of Concept
The Lenovo Smart Sense Display Proof-of-Concept is more than a display; it is an intelligent multi-device hub. In addition to connecting to your devices via cables, the 27-inch UHD display can auto-connect wirelessly to multiple personal devices, including a mobile phone, laptop, and tablet.
Users can easily cast content from their devices and enjoy efficient, multi-screen collaboration.
The intuitive display also features natural-language interaction with a smart assistant to access devices and applications via touch or voice command. Multitasking can be easier than ever, thanks to flexible window management and ‘drag and drop’ functionality.
The intelligence in Lenovo’s advanced display concepts extends from user productivity to well-being. The AI-powered personalized display concept can deliver real-time visual solutions tailored to diverse users.
Designed as a multi-user display concept, the solution provides different experiences according to users’ profiles, time of day, and geographic location for circadian auto-adaptations to deliver personalized display brightness, color temperature, and real-time wellness monitoring based on posture, eye fatigue, and other factors. The AI-powered display concept provides the ultimate in comfort and well-being by understanding and attuning to every user’s needs.
