Late last year, Sightful did something unexpected. They ditched this wacky laptop with AR glasses. You know, the kind that makes you feel like you’re in a sci-fi movie. Their new thing? Turning their AR workspace software into something for Windows. Enter: Spacetop for Windows. Imagine transforming your plain ol’ workspace into a private digital domain. Sounds cool, right?
So, remember that hardware they had? It worked with XREAL AR glasses. But now, they’re casting a wider net with a subscription app for all sorts of AI-packed PCs. Dell, HP, Lenovo — you name it. Big shift from their original ‘headless’ laptop idea with the Android-based SpaceOS. Anyone remember hearing about this in 2024? Sightful decided to cancel that $1,900 gadget, returning money to folks. Something about neural processing units making AR smoother and less battery-sucking. Weirdly scientific stuff, but hey, no complaints here.
Anyway, guess what? They’ve launched a Spacetop Bundle at $899. Yup, it includes those futuristic XREAL Air 2 Ultra AR glasses. Normally, those specs alone go for $699. Along with it, you get a 12-month Spacetop subscription, which renews at $200 per year. Oh, and optional lenses are a thing too. Single-vision costs you $50; progressive ones are $150. Choices, choices.
If you’re pondering which laptops to pair, they recommend a bunch. Dell XPS Core Ultra 7, HP Elitebook, and Lenovo Yoga Slim, among others. Pretty handy, though not exhaustive. The tech just keeps evolving, especially with those Intel Core Ultra 7/9 processors. I can barely keep up!
So, here’s what makes Spacetop tick: Access to all those apps we love. Smooth workspace adjustments — it’s like tapping into some techy zen state. Travel mode’s a gem too; no more cramped screen woes whether you’re on a plane or just chilling on your couch. And, best part? Those glasses are super light — think of them like featherweight eyewear. Bonus: ginormous 100” display space that helps keep your neck nice and comfy. No more hunching over tiny screens. Hallelujah!
Founded in 2020, Sightful’s got some hefty support — over $61M in backing. Seriously. They’ve got roots in Tel Aviv and offices from Palo Alto to Taiwan. A pretty big deal from the minds behind PrimeSense, Magic Leap, and Broadcom. If you’re the curious type, there’s more to explore about this Spacetop thing. Go on, dive in.
