Help: the Lynceus3D app

The Lynceus3D app plays our side-by-side 3D videos on XR glasses plugged into an iPhone. The iPhone is the remote.

What you need

• The free Lynceus3D app from the U.S. App Store.
• An iPhone with a USB-C port.
• XR glasses that plug into USB-C and have a 3D (full SBS) mode. We have tested the VITURE Luma Pro and the XREAL One Pro.
• An internet connection. The videos stream, and a fast connection gives the sharpest picture.

Watch in 3D

1. Plug your XR glasses into the iPhone.
2. Set the glasses to 3D (full SBS) mode.
3. Open Lynceus3D and tap a video. It plays in the glasses, and the iPhone keeps the controls.

The controls

• Play All plays every video in order.
• Stop goes back to the start of the video.
• Next skips to the next video.
• At the end sets what happens when a video ends: Stop, Repeat or Play All.
• AirPods and other headphones: one press plays or pauses, two presses skip to the next video.

Your own 3D videos

Tap Play your own 3D video (under the list of videos) and pick a side-by-side video from Files. Put the video in Files first, for example with AirDrop or iCloud Drive.

• Full side-by-side (32:9, such as 3840 x 1080) plays just like our videos.
• Half side-by-side (16:9, such as 1920 x 1080) is stretched to fill each eye.
• An ordinary 2D video is not side-by-side, so it will look stretched.

The app plays the file where it is: nothing is copied, uploaded or saved.

No glasses?

Tap a video to watch it on the iPhone in 2D. Plug in XR glasses to see it in 3D.

If something looks wrong

• The picture looks doubled or squeezed: set the glasses to 3D (full SBS). While they are in 2D, the glasses show a reminder.
• The glasses go dark for a few seconds when you change modes: that's normal. The glasses reconnect, and the app picks the 3D picture on its own.
• The first seconds look soft: the stream starts at a lower quality and sharpens on its own.
• No videos appear: check the internet connection, then pull down on the list to refresh it.
• The video stops when you leave the app: come back to the app and tap Play.
