HANDY WIDGETS Clock, weather, calendar, notes, Pomodoro timer, activity, and even a map for walking — glanceable over the real world. YOUR IPHONE IS THE CONTROLLER Your phone is the cursor: trackpad, air-mouse with the gyroscope, or point with your gaze. All the content lives in the glasses, so the phone never gets in your way.
