Spacetop: The Future of Augmented Reality Laptops
The Spacetop, developed by Sightful, is an early-access product experiment that turns laptops into AR-assisted devices with endless virtual displays. The keyboard base, with its own Qualcomm processor inside, acts as a spatially tracked anchor that the AR glasses can follow and track the floating displays to. The Spacetop comes with a pair of NReal Light AR glasses as part of its package, which need to be physically tethered to the keyboard to work. The field of view is narrower than most VR headsets, but the display resolution is more than good enough for monitor readouts. The Spacetop is a fascinating first step to what could be a lot more smart accessories designed specifically for mixed reality.
