HoloKit X is a simple, affordable accessory for iPhone that unlocks the world of stereoscopic AR and allows people to Dream Together in new realities. Download the HoloKit X app, follow the simple instructions to pair iPhone, try out a few of the included realities, and then get ready to transport into a new reality to become a wizard or dragon hunter and play with friends. The HoloKit X app includes all content, a series of realities, to demonstrate the capabilities and wonder of stereoscopic AR, experience immersive art dreams created by world-renewed digital artists, and battles with wizards and dragons by casting spells. HoloKit X’s killer feature is face-to-face multiplayer, which allows friends to battle together or against each other as wizards, by casting spells, and hunt down and battle dragons together. This has never been done before with AR and is now available for anybody to use. The HoloKit X app also enables others, with their own iPhone or iPad, to Dream Together with their friends using a unique spectator mode feature where battles, dragon hunts, and immersive art experiences can be viewed in real-time from a second screen. Simply download the app and await a pair request from a friend or friends with HoloKit X (using AirDrop). The HoloKit X app, once iPhone is docked and paired, includes simple controls to switch between realities. The included Apple Watch app enables motion control within HoloKit X realities with any object and using the built-in gyroscope. Now any object you want can be your wand to cast spells in these new worlds and shared experiences. The app also integrates with the Health app on iPhone and Apple Watch, allowing dreamers to track their activity and achieve fitness goals through individual battles and with their friends.

Step into an open-world AR adventure where every walk becomes a quest, every corner hides a surprise, and the world is yours to shape. This is not your average stroll. In this playful AR game, you’ll explore the real world to discover flying whales, glowing gardens, and mischievous bugs. Collect seeds, coins, tools — and the occasional mystery item — just by moving through your day. But stay alert! You might run into wild monsters. When they attack, you dodge, shoot back, and gather the voxels they drop. Use your collected voxels to build. From tiny emoji farms to futuristic sculptures, you can place them anywhere in the real world. Make the sidewalk your stage. Make your park your playground. Plant seeds in virtual pots, watch them bloom, and harvest rare voxels from the petals. You never know what will grow next. Whether you're boss hunting, bug chasing, or casually decorating your favorite café with floating windmills, this is your world — remixed. Start walking. Start wondering. The world’s waiting.
