This product is a Spatial Reality Display*1 that allows users to enjoy 3D content—such as avatars and characters—as well as objects generated by XYN spatial capture solution, in three-dimensional images that appear as if they were actually present in the room, all without the need for special glasses or a headset. Based on the concept of “Bringing the world of creativity into the ‘everyday’ on your desk,” it offers an experience that allows users to enjoy content created by XR creators and spatial content creators within their everyday environments.
By connecting this device directly to your smartphone or PC*2 via a USB-C cable*3, you can easily view 3D content. Whether you’re enjoying your favorite characters or avatars or creating original content using the developer SDK, this device expands the range of ways to enjoy spatial content*4.
