Lumina Go turns your iPhone into a full-featured wireless remote for BLE-enabled projectors. REMOTE CONTROL Use the intuitive D-Pad for directional navigation, OK, Back, Home and Menu. Adjust volume, focus, and switch input sources — all from your phone. TOUCHPAD / MOUSE A large touch area lets you move the on-screen cursor with one finger, tap to click, two-finger tap for right-click, and two-finger swipe to scroll. Adjustable cursor speed from 0.5x to 3.0x. KEYBOARD Full QWERTY keyboard with letters, symbols and special keys. Type directly on your projector without an external keyboard. TEXT INPUT Compose longer text in a multi-line editor, then send it to your projector in one tap. Perfect for entering Wi-Fi passwords, URLs and search queries. AIR MOUSE Wave your phone to move the projector cursor — like a laser pointer. Uses gyroscope and accelerometer with one-tap calibration. No extra hardware needed. VOICE CONTROL Hold the mic button and speak. On-device speech recognition converts your voice into projector commands — navigation, media, settings, focus, brightness and more (50+ commands). Your audio never leaves your phone. STREAMING SEARCH Search for movies and TV shows across Netflix, Disney+, YouTube and Prime Video. See where each title is available, then tap to open it directly on your projector.
