This is an important step toward making big-screen AR something anyone can experience." Built for movie-lovers and gamers alike Positioned as a "pocket cinema," the a01+ delivers a virtual screen equivalent to 147 inches at 4 meters, giving commuters, travelers and everyday users a big-screen experience anywhere. On the gaming side, the device's "Just Play" approach lets users turn their smartphone, laptop, or handheld console into an immersive display in seconds, offering a 50° FoV and 120Hz refresh rate. Comfort at the core Designed for everyday use and personal expression, the a01+ can accommodate interchangeable front frames.
