Sightful Shifts Focus: Cancels Development of 'Spacetop', Embraces Windows AR Software - Road to VR
Sightful Cancels Headless AR Workstation ‘Spacetop’, Pivots to Windows AR Software
Sightful, a hardware startup aiming to establish a niche in 'headless AR laptops,' has canceled its plans for the $1,900 Spacetop G1. Initially revealed in May, the Spacetop G1 was intended to be the company's first commercially available product, featuring a laptop form tethered to XREAL AR glasses. However, facing challenges from Microsoft's NPU-enhanced Surface laptops and similar offerings from other major OEMs, Sightful has decided to cancel the product. Customers with pre-orders will receive refunds. Shifting focus, Sightful will develop a software platform for Windows laptops to deliver a similar AR experience, compatible with XREAL AR glasses and eventually expanding support to Macs and potentially TVs and phones. This software is expected in early 2025. Visit Road to VR for the complete story.
