Sightful Discontinues Spacetop, Plans to Launch Windows Software for Xreal Air 2 Ultra - UploadVR
Sightful Cancels Spacetop, Will Release Windows Software For Xreal Air 2 Ultra Instead
Sightful has canceled the planned release of the Spacetop G1, a screenless laptop featuring AR glasses, and is issuing refunds for all preorder deposits. Originally intended to be powered by Qualcomm's Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chipset and running Spacetop OS, the device is no longer shipping. Instead, Sightful is redirecting its efforts toward developing AR system software compatible with Windows laptops equipped with NPUs, such as those using Qualcomm Snapdragon, Intel Core Ultra, or AMD Ryzen AI chipsets. This software, retaining the Spacetop name, will enable spatial computing by allowing the spawning of Windows applications in space, enhancing the capabilities of existing laptops. The decision to pivot was influenced by advancements in laptop NPU technology, enabling better performance and wider market accessibility. While the Spacetop software is expected to launch by year's end, it will be limited to CoPilot+ PCs, which support this new AR functionality. For a detailed account, visit the full story on UploadVR.
