Stereoscopic 3D Glasses Viewer

A Mac app for RayNeo Air 3s Pro AR glasses. See 3D models in true stereoscopic 3D that stays still in the room as you turn your head, watch the spatial videos your iPhone records in 3D, look around inside VR180 and 360° videos, and turn any window on your Mac into a big virtual screen: flat, curved, or an IMAX-style dome.

3D models in real stereoscopic 3D

Open a model and each eye gets its own image, drawn side by side at the glasses' full 3840 by 1080 resolution, so it has real depth instead of looking like a flat picture. The glasses' motion sensor turns the view with your head, so the model stays put in the room while you look around it.

A side-by-side stereoscopic frame: two slightly different renders of a model aircraft, one for each eye, as the glasses receive them.
What the glasses receive: one image per eye. Black shows as clear on the glasses, so the model floats in your room.

A virtual big screen that stays in the room

Pick any window, app, or display on your Mac and it becomes a large screen in front of you. Turn your head and it stays where it is, instead of moving with your face the way the glasses do on their own.

The control panel in Big screen mode: a window named Strix full size.png is shared, the Curved shape is selected with an 80 degree wrap, and smooth follow is on with its after, wait and speed sliders.
Big screen controls: shape, wrap and smooth follow.

Your iPhone's spatial videos, in 3D

iPhone 15 Pro and later record spatial video: a separate picture for each eye, made for Apple Vision Pro. AirDrop one to your Mac, open it, and it plays in real 3D on the glasses, on a big screen that stays put in the room.

Made for the glasses

Two desktop widgets in dark glass: each shows the glasses in 3D, the open model with a picture of it, and buttons for the three modes; the larger one adds recenter, smooth follow, smaller and bigger, and sound to the glasses.
Desktop widgets: status and one-click controls.
The Settings window: stereo format, swap eyes, status text on the glasses, opening when the glasses switch to 3D, panel darkness, update checks, and a list of keyboard shortcuts.

Questions

Does it work with XREAL, VITURE or other glasses?

Not yet. Head tracking and the automatic 3D switch speak the RayNeo Air 3s Pro's own protocol. Other glasses may still show the side-by-side image in their 3D mode, but without head tracking.

Which videos play in 3D?

iPhone spatial videos (iPhone 15 Pro and later), side-by-side and top-and-bottom 3D films, and 3D VR180 and 360° videos, as .mov, .mp4 or .m4v files. A browser or video app playing a 3D video can be shared as the big screen too. 360° videos playing inside a web page show as a flat window, because the page only draws the part you are looking at; download the file where the site allows it.

Can I play games in 3D?

The big screen shows a game on a large screen fixed in the room, in 2D. Making a game itself render in 3D has to happen in the game.

Can it correct for my prescription?

No software can: focus is set by the glasses' lenses. Use contact lenses or a prescription insert for the glasses.

What if it doesn't work with my setup?

Version 1.0 works well on my own glasses every day, and it has not met every setup yet. Updates are included, and if it does not work with your glasses, email me for a refund within 14 days.
