Watch, browse and enjoy on a giant screen in front of you — wherever you are. CINEMA SCREEN Open any website on a huge virtual screen that follows you. Watch videos, read the news or browse with the comfort of a giant monitor — on the bus, in bed or on a plane. YOUR MEDIA ON THE BIG SCREEN Play the movies and shows from your home servers — Plex, Jellyfin, SMB and DLNA — with cover art and adaptive quality. Plus your iPhone's photos and videos, like a private cinema. 360° & IMMERSIVE VIDEO 360 and VR videos respond as you turn your head, like being inside the scene. With side-by-side 3D support. THREE SPATIAL MODES • Theater: one or several flat screens fixed in front of you. • Spatial: windows anchored around you in space — turn your head to move between them. • Canvas: your HUD with widgets always at hand. Open several pages at once and move between them with a gesture — a true spatial window manager. 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.
