Viture Pro turned my iPhone into a spatial computer

The recently announced Viture Pro smart glasses offer improved brightness and clarity over the original model. After testing them for several weeks, I discovered a unique feature that allows me to use my iPhone as a spatial computer.

I have been searching for a mobile desktop solution that enables me to work from anywhere without giving up the convenience of my home office workstation.

The Meta Quest 3 came close, and I have tried various smart glasses to find a practical solution. This time, I decided to put the Viture Pro to the test as a pocketable laptop replacement.

Viture’s New Trackpad Mode

Display smart glasses often have mobile apps that allow you to see up to three browser windows, but they lack essential cursor control for productivity. Viture has addressed this issue with its new trackpad mode.

I have tried using Xreal’s Air 2 display glasses with my phone, but switching between holding the phone to move the cursor and typing on my Bluetooth keyboard felt awkward.

Viture’s default setting turns my phone into a virtual laser pointer, similar to Xreal’s Nebula app. While this is great for casual use, it is not ideal for productivity. A physical keyboard and mouse or trackpad offer better control for work-related tasks.

Viture’s SpaceWalker app now features a Trackpad mode, allowing me to tap and drag on my iPhone screen to control a cursor on the Viture Pro’s virtual screens. When paired with a Bluetooth keyboard, this combination functions like a spatial computer.

Viture Pro Displays

At 1,000 nits, the Viture Pro’s displays are the brightest available, making them easily visible indoors. The electrochromic dimming can reduce ambient light by 99.9% for outdoor and bright lighting situations.

The text is remarkably clear on the Viture Pro, with diopter adjustment dials for further sharpness tuning. The flat virtual screen alignment ensures crisp text without distortion.

Viture’s iPhone App

Viture’s SpaceWalker app, which enables multiple virtual displays, runs on an iPhone, setting the Viture One and Pro apart from their competitors. An adapter may be necessary for newer iPhone models with a Lightning port.

The app offers a range of features, including a news feed, preference settings, and various apps. The spatial computing experience resembles having three bright 1080p monitors for multitasking and productivity.

While the spatial computing experience is impressive, there are some limitations, such as the inability to right-click or drag to select text. The head tracking feature may require occasional adjustments, but overall, the Viture Pro offers a unique and useful setup.

Viture Pro Compatibility

In addition to the iPhone app, Viture offers a SpaceWalker app for other devices, including Samsung Galaxy phones, MacBooks, and Windows PCs. The experience may vary based on the device connected.

While the iPhone app resembles the Android version, connecting to a PC or Mac unlocks additional display modes and compatibility with various apps and browsers. There may be some limitations with certain web apps on the SpaceWalker browser.

Although the Viture Pro’s iPhone connection is not a complete mobile productivity solution, it offers an ultra-compact and practical setup. For extensive work tasks, connecting the smart glasses to a laptop or PC may provide better app access and desktop space.

Viture Pro stands out as one of the best smart glasses available, with responsive development and continuous improvements to the SpaceWalker app. If you own an iPhone and are interested in smart glasses with displays, Viture is a recommended brand to explore.
