Spacetop, which we covered in 2023<\/a>, was supposed to be a laptop with no screen. Instead, AR eyeglasses provided the visuals:<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Two years on, the company has ditched the hardware and pivoted towards software instead. The company’s new offering is Spacetop for Windows<\/a>, software that connects a pair of AR glasses made by XREAL<\/a> to a Windows laptop. This gives the user 100″ of virtual screen real estate, without needing to lug an actual monitor set-up. It also confers privacy.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The software is aimed at business users. “AR was never built for productivity,” the company writes. “The current array of AR workspace solutions are the equivalent of a single, boring, external monitor. Those solutions are perfect for entertainment but not for serious work. They are great for Nintendo Switch or watching a movie on your phone, but when you move to the laptop and get work done, anywhere, AR Glasses are limited.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

“We pack all the benefits of a home office with multiple monitors and massive screen real estate in a laptop form factor. Huge bonus with privacy.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The pricing reinforces the business use case: Buy-in is $900 for the glasses and the software, which is unfortunately on a subscription model that renews each year for $200. Adding prescription lenses to the glasses is another $50.<\/p>\n

The company says they’re working on an Apple-compatible version, but it doesn’t appear to be a priority; they’ve cited no target release date. <\/p>\n
