After nearly three years of meticulous development, Sightful, the company renowned for its innovation in spatial computing, has introduced Spacetop, the world’s first Augmented Reality (AR) Laptop. This new breed of laptop takes personal computing to a whole new level, integrating Augmented Reality (AR) to enhance productivity and creativity in our daily lives.
Spacetop was designed keeping the “work from anywhere” mentality in mind. It leverages AR to transform the user’s surroundings into a personalized, portable home office. With Spacetop, users can design their perfect working environment on a virtual canvas that stretches over 100 inches. This eliminates the need for constantly switching windows or shuffling through tabs and applications on standard 13″-16″ screens, allowing users to focus on their tasks at hand.
Spacetop offers a seamless AR experience without the need for complicated gesture controls or external hardware. It provides users with a virtually limitless digital workspace that they can carry anywhere, from their homes to a café, or even an airplane. With its privacy-focused design, Spacetop ensures that the user’s work environment and work remain completely invisible to those who are not using the device, thus keeping the user’s information secure and private.
Sightful, the company behind Spacetop, has secured $61 million USD in funding from notable global investors like Aleph and Corner Ventures. The Spacetop hardware integrates customized NReal glasses with the proprietary Spacetop environment, enabling users to access their important web applications on clear, high-resolution AR windows overlaid onto the real world. This creates an immersive yet tangible work environment that doesn’t hinder the user’s ability to interact with people around them.
Spacetop’s development was significantly bolstered by its partnership with Wistron, one of the world’s top laptop hardware manufacturers. Wistron’s robust R&D infrastructure and its experience in product development have been instrumental in bringing Spacetop to life.
Spacetop’s Early Access program is now open, with 1,000 early adopters invited to join. Those interested in being the first to experience this new dimension of personal computing can apply at Sightful’s website. https://www.sightful.com
