Overview

SpaceWalker Desktop is an application that works with XR Glasses manufactured by VITURE. It allows you to project multiple virtual screens onto your XR Glasses from your desktop device, and supports multiple layout switching to adapt to your operating habits.

By default, the virtual screen is locked in space (6DoF on Luma Ultra XR GLasses, 3DoF on our other XR Glasses). You can also unlock the fixation of a single direction according to your personal habits, so that the screen moves with your head.

Of course, you can also use keyboard shortcuts to adjust the size of the screen display, or reset the screen to the center of your field of view.

First time on Mac

Grant Screen Recording Permission

To display virtual screens on XR Glasses, grant Screen Recording permission:

1. Open System Settings (Apple menu > System Settings).
2. Click "Security & Privacy > Privacy > Screen Recording.
3. Check the box next to "Immersive 3D." Unlock changes with your admin password if needed.

Settings

When connecting XR Glasses for the first time on Mac, a dialog may appear. Select "Extended Display" and check "Set as Default" in the bottom-left corner. This dialog may appear twice during the initial setup; follow the same steps each time.

If the dialog above does not appear and the display on the XR Glasses shows a black screen with the text "Choose to mirror from the menu" (as shown in the image below), this typically occurs when enabling 3D Mode or switching to 120Hz. In this case, click the menu bar and select "VITURE" as the Extended Display.

Launch

If SpaceWalker is stuck on the "Connecting to VITURE XR Glasses" screen, refer to the Troubleshooting section to troubleshoot the connection.

Select a Display Layout

Choose from six available layouts to optimize your virtual workspace:

• Single Display
• Dual Displays (Side-by-Side)
• Triple Displays (Side-by-Side)
• Stacked Triple Displays
• Ultrawide Panoramic Display
• Portrait-Landscape-Portrait (Coding Mode)

Note: The VITURE Beast XR Glasses support only the following display modes: Single Display, Ultrawide Panoramic, 2 Displays Side by Side, and 3 Displays Side by Side.

Mirror or Extend Your Desktop

Decide how your virtual screens interact with your PC's display:

• Mirror Display: Duplicate your PC's screen onto your XR Glasses.
• Extend Desktop: Expand your workspace across multiple virtual monitors.

Select a Refresh Rate

Available for VITURE Luma, Luma Pro, Luma Ultra, and Pro XR Glasses

For supported models, SpaceWalker allows you to choose a refresh rate (120Hz, 90Hz, or 60Hz) each time you launch the app with your XR Glasses connected.

The app remembers your last chosen setting and applies it automatically on the next launch.

How It Works:

• SpaceWalker temporarily overrides your system's refresh rate settings while the app is running.
• Once you quit SpaceWalker, the display reverts to the refresh rate set in Windows Settings.

For instance, if Windows is set to 60Hz, but you choose 120Hz in SpaceWalker, your XR Glasses will run at 120Hz while SpaceWalker is active. After quitting the app, it returns to 60Hz.

On Mac: Refresh rate cannot be changed while the app is running. To apply a different refresh rate, please disconnect and reconnect your XR Glasses.

Settings on Mac

You can quickly access the settings by clicking the SpaceWalker icon in the menu bar / system tray icon or using shortcut keys.

Switch Display Layouts

You can quickly switch between six display layouts. Open windows will remain open when you change layouts.

Move Displays

Use the settings or keyboard shortcuts to move displays closer or further apart (like making them bigger or smaller).

Recenter Displays

Use the settings or keyboard shortcuts to recenter the displays on your XR Glasses.

You'll receive a notification to recenter the displays if they move outside your field of vision.

Head Tracking Correction

Available on VITURE Luma Pro XR Glasses

When enabled, Head Tracking Correction uses real-time position data to enhance the 3DoF experience by improving stability and responsiveness.

If you're already satisfied with the current 3DoF performance, you can leave this option turned off.

Auto-Calibrate on Mac

Available on VITURE Luma Pro XR Glasses

The VITURE Luma Pro XR Glasses support automatic calibration to improve 3DoF stability. The calibration result is saved for a more consistent experience.

How to Auto-Calibrate:

1. Keep your XR Glasses connected to your computer.
2. Remove the XR Glasses and place them on a flat, stable surface.
3. Wait for 3–5 seconds. Calibration will complete automatically.
4. Put the XR Glasses back on and continue using them.

You may occasionally receive a message prompting you to auto-calibrate. If you notice display instability, you can repeat the steps above at any time.

XR Glasses Calibration

Calibration fixes drift, which is the gradual movement of the display over time. Unlike Recenter (Ctrl-Alt-Cmd-R) which adjusts the center point for your current position, calibration aims to improve long-term stability. If you plan to stay in a fixed position while using SpaceWalker, calibration is recommended.

Shortcut available on VITURE Pro, One, and One Lite XR Glasses

Calibration Steps:

1. Find a comfortable spot: Set up in a comfortable position for using SpaceWalker.
2. Start the app and Recenter (optional): Wear your XR Glasses and launch the app. If the displays aren't centered, use Recenter (Ctrl-Alt-Cmd-R) to adjust them.
3. Calibrate: Use the calibration shortcut key (Ctrl-Alt-Cmd-C). Remember your current approximate position.
4. Repeat for better results (optional): Continue using SpaceWalker for a while, then return to your initial position and perform calibration again. The frequency of calibration depends on your individual needs. Repeating steps 3 and 4 can further improve calibration.

Recentering or disconnecting your XR Glasses will clear the calibration data. You'll need to recalibrate following these steps again.

If you plan to stay in a fixed position while using SpaceWalker, calibration is recommended for long-term stability.

However, recentering remains useful for occasional adjustments based on your posture changes.

Control Panel on Windows

After you click Launch, SpaceWalker for Windows opens the main control panel. It's designed so your most-used controls are always easy click away, while one-time setup options live in the Settings menu.

Control Panel

The panel adapts to your XR Glasses model.

Shortcut Keys

Switch Display Layouts

Quickly switch between six display layouts from the system tray. Open windows will remain open during layout changes.

We've included quite a few shortcuts to make SpaceWalker for Windows easy to navigate.

Other Shorcut Keys

Features For Ease of Use

Shake Cursor to Center

Lost your cursor? Shake your mouse or make circles on your trackpad to instantly bring it back to the center of the screen.

Head-Down Transparency

Enable this feature to temporarily see through your XR Glasses when you tilt your head downward—ideal for typing on a keyboard or viewing your surroundings without removing the glasses.

On SpaceWalker for Windows, you can also adjust the Detection Angle — the head-down angle that triggers transparency — in Settings > General after enabling this feature.

Note: This feature is only available on XR Glasses equipped with electrochromic film. It is not supported on models without it, such as the VITURE One Lite XR Glasses.

Lock Movements

SpaceWalker allows you to "pin" the displays in a specific position using three degrees of freedom. You can also lock movements if you want the displays to stay fixed regardless of your head movement.

• Lock/Unlock Left and Right Directions (Yaw): Locks/Unlocks movement when turning your head left or right.

• Lock/Unlock Up and Down Directions (Pitch): Locks/Unlocks movement when tilting your head up or down.

• Lock/Unlock Head Side Rotation (Roll): Locks/Unlocks movement when tilting your head to your shoulder.

Disable Built-In Display

Turn off your built-in display while using SpaceWalker (except in Extend Desktop mode).

Note: Due to changes in macOS Sequoia, auto-disable built-in display is currently unavailable within SpaceWalker.

Reduce Motion Blur

If you experience discomfort while turning your head quickly, enable 'Reduce Motion Blur' to minimize motion blur and eye strain.

Be aware that this feature may slightly darken the display on your XR Glasses.

Smooth Follow

Enable 'Smooth Follow' for virtual displays to seamlessly follow your head movements, similar to a tripod.

However, this feature automatically disables 3DoF functionality. Therefore, we recommend using Smooth Follow only with single display layout, not layouts like 3 displays or the ultra-wide display.

Theme

You can choose and switch between different theme backgrounds to enhance your immersive experience — or even customize your own background.

Select the "Theme" option from the menu. You can choose from six available themes, including:

• None
• Everest
• Blue Ocean
• Aurora
• Lake Ellitron
• Custom Theme

After selecting "Custon Theme", you’ll need to choose and upload an image from your local device.

Tips: Only equirectangular projection format (360° panoramic format) is supported for image uploads. Other formats will cause stretching and distortion, which may affect your visual experience.

Screen Recording

SpaceWalker offers a variety of visually-appealing display layouts and built-in support for 3 degrees of freedom (3DoF). If you want to capture your point of view and share it with others, follow these steps:

Mac

Prepare Screen Recording

Report any issues you encounter while using SpaceWalker. Clicking this option will send anonymous log files to VITURE to help us improve the software. Log files do not contain any personal information.

Install Virtual Display Driver

For Snapdragon X Series Windows ARM64 Devices. To use SpaceWalker in Extended mode, a virtual display driver is required. If you're only using Mirrored mode (and don't need to disable the built-in screen), simply install the app—no driver setup needed.

We’ve integrated VitureVDA virtual display driver into the SpaceWalker installer, However, on ARM-based laptops (e.g. Snapdragon X series), a few system settings must be adjusted before installation.

Installation Steps:

1. Disable BitLocker (if enabled): Open the Start menu and search for Device encryption settings. If Device Encryption is visible, toggle it off. This may take several minutes. If the setting is not found, BitLocker is not enabled—skip this step.
2. Disable Secure Boot: Restart your computer and press F2 repeatedly during startup to enter BIOS. Then locate Secure Boot and disable it.
3. Enable Windows Test Mode: Open PowerShell or CMD as Administrator, run the command: bcdedit /set testsigning on.
4. Restart Your Computer: After rebooting, you should see “Test Mode” in the bottom-right corner of the desktop.
5. Install the Driver*: Run the SpaceWalker installer. After installation, open Device Manager. Under Display adapters, confirm that VitureVDA appears.

If VitureVDA is listed, the driver was installed successfully. If not, verify that Test Mode was enabled before installation.

Notes:

• The driver only needs to be installed once per device (unless manually removed).
• It will not be overwritten by future software updates.

Check Interface Support on Windows

To run SpaceWalker, your XR Glasses need a single USB-C connection that carries three things at the same time:

• Power: The port powers your XR Glasses.
• Video (DisplayPort Alt Mode): The port must support video output over USB-C to send the picture to your glasses.
• Data (USB): SpaceWalker uses the data channel to read the glasses' motion sensors for head tracking and to control the glasses (brightness, volume, firmware). If data doesn't get through, the glasses can show a picture, but SpaceWalker can't connect to them.

A USB-C port that provides all three is often called a full-featured USB-C port.

Diagnose by What You See

Plug in your glasses and check what actually happens — each symptom points to a different cause:

The lenses respond (e.g., the tint changes when you press the electrochromic film button) → Your glasses are receiving power. Continue below to check video and data.

The glasses display lights up and shows your desktop, but SpaceWalker shows an error or stays on the connecting screen → Video (DP) is working, but USB data is likely not getting through. Common causes: a hub, dock, or adapter that doesn't pass through data, or a video-only cable. Follow the steps below — use the original cable and connect directly to the computer.

The glasses display stays black (no picture at all) → Video isn't getting through. Either the port doesn't support DisplayPort Alt Mode, or the glasses firmware needs attention:

• Check whether your port supports DP Alt Mode (see below).
• Make sure your glasses firmware is up to date: Update your XR Glasses.

Nothing happens at all (no tint change, no display) → The glasses may not be receiving power. Make sure the cable is firmly plugged in at both ends, then try another port.

How to Identify a Compatible Port

• If your computer's USB-C port is labeled with a lightning bolt symbol (Thunderbolt) or a DisplayPort symbol, it is likely compatible.

• If your laptop or mini PC has a full-featured USB-C port (supporting data, audio, video, and power transmission), simply connect your XR Glasses directly to this port.
• If the port isn't labeled, check your computer's specifications for "DisplayPort Alt Mode", "DP Alt Mode", or "video output" over USB-C.

Step-by-Step Checks

1. Use the original cable. Many third-party USB-C cables are charge-only or don't carry video and data together.
2. Connect directly to your computer. Remove any hub, docking station, or extension cable — many don't pass through DP Alt Mode or full USB data.
3. Try every USB-C port. On many computers, only some ports support video output.
4. Confirm the port supports DP Alt Mode using the symbols and specifications above.
5. Retry. After each change, click Retry on the connection screen (or unplug and reconnect your glasses).

If Your Computer Has No Compatible USB-C Port

If your device doesn't have a USB-C port with DP Alt Mode, you'll need a DP + USB-A to USB-C adapter or an HDMI + USB-A to USB-C adapter to create a full-featured USB-C connection: the DP/HDMI plug provides the video, and the USB-A plug provides the data and power.

Important Notes:

• Power Source: Connect the USB-A plug to the PC chassis (not a smartphone power adapter) to ensure a stable power supply.
• Data Support: Ensure the adapter supports data transfer—not just charging or video.
• Port Selection: Choose either DisplayPort or HDMI input based on the available ports on your graphics card. Avoid using ports already connected to monitors or other active devices to prevent conflicts.
• Third-Party Adapters: While it may work with our devices, we're not able to provide technical support or guarantee full compatibility with non-VITURE docks or adapters.

Still Having Trouble?

If you've gone through all the steps above and SpaceWalker still can't connect, please send us feedback directly from the app: click the Settings > Feedback, describe the issue along with the steps to reproduce it, enter your email address, and click Submit. Our team will follow up with you.

Glasses Screen Not Displaying on macOS

If the XR glasses screen does not turn on when connected to a Mac running macOS 15.6.1 or later, the issue may be caused by corrupted or conflicting display configuration files.

Follow the steps below to reset the system display settings.

Symptoms

• Glasses remain black after connecting to a Mac
• The display named “VITURE” does not appear in System Settings → Displays.
• Issue occurs after updating to macOS 15.6.1 or later

Solution: Reset Display Configuration Files

These steps require administrator privileges.

Step 1: Backup and remove the main display configuration file

Open Terminal, then run the following command:

sudo mv /Library/Preferences/com.apple.windowserver.displays.plist /Library/Preferences/com.apple.windowserver.displays.plist.backup

This backs up and removes the system-level display configuration file.

Step 2: Backup and remove display configurations in the ByHost folder

Run the following command in Terminal:

for f in ~/Library/Preferences/ByHost/com.apple.windowserver*; do mv "" ""; done

This clears per-device display configuration files that may conflict with external displays.

Step 3: Restart your Mac

After completing the steps above:

• Restart your system

• Reconnect the XR glasses

• Try switching the glasses to 3D mode and then switching back

• Check whether the display turns on normally

Issue persists after restarting

If the issue persists after restarting, verify:

• You are using a compatible USB-C cable

• The glasses function normally when connected to another device

If the problem continues, please contact support and include your Mac model, macOS version, and connection method for further assistance.
