You'd have an easier time beating Han Solo's Kessel Run record than describing Star Wars: Jedi Challenges—Lenovo's and Disney's lightsaber-swinging augmented reality experience—in a way that does it proper justice.
To truly feel one with the AR-fueled Force, you must don the included headset (in which your smartphone is nestled), clutch the lightsaber's hilt—which ratchets the realism with haptic feedback—and clash virtual blades with the likes of Kylo Ren and Darth Maul. Suffice it to say though, it delivers the sort of experience that would have melted my 10-year-old mind back in the day.
The incredible sense of immersion is due not only to the cool tech, which also uses a tracking beacon and compatible smartphone running the game's app, but the many Star Wars-flavored details supporting it; from obvious inclusions, like the familiar score and sounds effects, to subtler touches like the sparks that erupt when you drag the virtual blade across the floor.
