Sightful has launched the “Spacetop G1,” which it considers the world’s first laptop that dispenses with the traditional screen, thus laying the first brick in a new era of augmented reality computing.
This device offers users the ability to interact with a virtual workspace that appears before their eyes through special glasses, instead of relying on a physical screen, which represents a qualitative leap towards re-imagining the shape of laptops in the future.
The idea of ”Spacetop G1″ is based on providing a virtual work environment that integrates with the user in the real world, so that he can see applications and windows as if they are floating in front of him, while the role of the laptop is limited to being a processing unit and service for the glasses.
Instead of the usual LCD or OLED screen, “Spacetop G1” relies on augmented reality glasses that display the user interface in the form of large virtual screens that appear in front of the user.
This technology gives the user high flexibility in customizing his digital work environment, where multiple virtual screens can be displayed at the same time, up to a size of approximately 100 inches in the user’s field of vision.
The glasses are connected to the computing unit, which resembles the structure of a traditional laptop, which includes a keyboard and a touchpad for interaction, while the system displays the content through the glasses instead of a fixed screen. An innovative user experience.
The device runs on an operating system designed specifically for augmented reality, and not on the traditional “Windows” system, which distinguishes it from ordinary computers.
Despite the lack of complete official details about the processor or memory specifications, the current model supports wireless communication and integration of traditional input interfaces such as a keyboard and touchpad, in addition to the ability to switch between real and virtual display to meet diverse work requirements.
