Afterglow XR

Your iPhone is a headset now: real head tracking, your hands, your room, your photos in 3D, a WebXR browser and twelve games. No account needed.

Put your iPhone in a viewer and step inside. Afterglow XR turns the phone in your pocket into a headset with real head tracking, your own hands as the controller, and your room around you.

YOUR ROOM, YOUR HANDS Move and lean with six degrees of freedom. Your room shows through the cameras, with depth, so glass windows hang in it and stay where you put them. Pinch to select, grab to move, point to aim. No controllers, nothing to charge.

YOUR LIBRARY IN THREE DIMENSIONS Spatial photos and videos play back in stereo. Panoramas wrap around you. 360 photos become the room itself. 180 and 360 video, side by side and top and bottom. Browse your Photos library, or your own folders in Files, including folders from cloud storage apps, and read them in place.

A WEB BROWSER YOU CAN REACH INTO Tabs, bookmarks, history, saved logins and private browsing, with text sized to read through a lens. Pages built with WebXR open immersive VR and AR sessions, with your hands as the input, and an Exit button at your feet whenever you want to leave.

TWENTY-FOUR PLACES TO BE Sit in a Japanese garden, a grand library or a starship cabin. Twenty-four photospheres are built in, and your own 360 photos join them. The one you pick is still there next time.

TWELVE GAMES Paint glowing ribbons in the air. Putt eighteen holes of mini golf at your feet. Ride a coaster on a course that is new every time. Blast blobs with a punch, vacuum your real floor, wake a toy box, step through a portal, and play rhythm to your own music. Stack a tower on your real table, grow a glowing garden, keep a ball in orbit with your palms, and drive a neon road by looking where you want to go.

YOUR MUSIC, YOUR WATCH, YOUR CONTROLLER Control Apple Music from inside. Use Apple Watch as a clicker with Double Tap and the Digital Crown, or pair a game controller.

TUNED FOR COMFORT Head smoothing you can adjust, 3DoF mode on the ultra-wide camera, and adjustable render scale and frame rate.

WHAT YOU NEED A phone viewer you can put your iPhone in, and an iPhone with a LiDAR Scanner. For the best experience, use iPhone 17 Pro Max or iPhone 18 Pro Max. Any other iPhone Pro with a LiDAR Scanner, such as iPhone 15 Pro, can work too. You can print a viewer yourself from the published plans. No viewer to hand? Phone view runs it all in your hand.

No account and no ads. It is open source, and it does not collect your data: your camera, your hands and your voice stay on your iPhone.
