Step 1 of 3: Today, everything you do fits on one screen.
A laptop gives you about thirteen inches. The document, the chat, the chart and the call all share it, so you tab between them or buy another monitor. However fast the computer gets, you still only see a screen's worth at a time.
Step 2 of 3: With Vantage, the windows leave the laptop.
Put the glasses on and each window becomes a thing in the room. Pin the document to the wall and put the chart where the second monitor used to be. Your workspace is as big as the room you are standing in.
Step 3 of 3: Leave, come back, and everything is where you put it.
The glasses remember the room. Tomorrow morning the chart is still above the desk and the chat is still by the door. Walk into a different room and that room's layout is waiting for you.
Vantage
See how it works
Personal computing has been the same for forty years. We're building to change that.
What a day with Vantage looks like
Pin a window to anything
Point at a wall, a door or a sheet of paper on the desk, and the window sits flat against it at the size you want.
Each room keeps its own layout
Your kitchen holds the recipe and the timer. Your office holds the work. Walk between them and the right windows are waiting.
Ask out loud
Say what you need and the answer appears in front of you. Ask it to book the table or send the file and it does that too.
Captions and translation as people talk
Words appear under the person speaking, in your language, with a transcript you can keep.
Hand a window to someone
Pass a window across the table the way you would pass a note. They see what you see, on their glasses.
An assistant that comes with you
It rides along from room to room and remembers what you were doing. If you already use one, bring it.
Glasses you would actually wear
Vantage is two objects. The glasses put the windows in the room and watch your hands. The case charges them and carries the computer, so the glasses can be as light as a normal pair.
The glasses
- The slimmest AR glasses on the market
- One-handed gestures the cameras can see, so there is no wristband
- Touch the temple to unlock, with haptics, like Touch ID
The case
- Charges the glasses
- Carries the heavy compute, so the glasses stay light
- A glanceable notification screen on the outside
- Slips into a pocket
Where Vantage goes first
Nobody swaps their laptop for glasses overnight. So the glasses go where a screen is a problem today, then to the people who already want more screen than a desk can hold.

Work where a screen gets in the way
The first product is a simpler pair of glasses for people who cannot look down at a phone: an emergency responder on a call, or someone whose disability makes phones and laptops hard to use.

Engineers who work across monitors
Developers and analysts already spread their work over two or three screens, then lose all of it the moment they leave the desk. Vantage gives them the whole desk anywhere.

Everyone
Consumer adoption takes time, so this is the long goal: glasses light enough for all day that take the place of the phone and the laptop.
Where we are
- Runs today
- A full Linux-based operating system that takes camera streams over the network, recognizes hand gestures from the cameras alone, maps the room with LiDAR-based SLAM, and has an on-glasses keyboard you can type on.
- Building now
- The glasses and the case. Hardware is the next step.
- Company
- Pre-seed and based in Berkeley, California, with two co-founders who both study at UC Berkeley.
Let’s build the next computer.
