Sightful
Sightful is an Israeli spatial computing company, formerly known as Multinarity, that develops the Spacetop AR laptop—a wearable augmented reality computing platform providing a private 100-inch virtual workspace visible only to the user.
Visit WebsiteCompany Overview
Sightful develops the Spacetop, a spatial computing platform that replaces the traditional laptop screen with an augmented reality workspace visible only through integrated AR glasses. Founded in 2020 in Tel Aviv, Israel (originally as Multinarity), the company was co-founded by Tamir Berliner—co-founder of PrimeSense, whose 3D sensing technology was acquired by Apple and became the foundation for Face ID—and Tomer Kahan, who previously worked at Magic Leap and N-Trig (acquired by Microsoft).
The Spacetop provides a 100-inch virtual display workspace that is inherently private—the screen content is visible only to the wearer of the AR glasses, with no external display to be observed by others. This 'for your eyes only' architecture combines a keyboard/trackpad base unit with lightweight AR glasses, creating a portable computing environment with a massive virtual workspace.
Dual-use relevance is compelling: the inherent visual privacy of the Spacetop makes it attractive for defense and intelligence personnel who need to work with sensitive or classified information in non-secure environments. AR tactical displays for command and control visualization, secure mobile workstations for deployed personnel, situational awareness overlays, and multi-display mission planning in the field are direct defense applications. The founders' deep expertise in spatial sensing and AR display technology (PrimeSense, Magic Leap) provides strong technical credibility.
Dual-Use Assessment
AR spatial computing platform with inherent visual privacy enables secure classified workstations, AR tactical displays for command and control, mobile secure workspaces for deployed defense personnel, and situational awareness visualization.
Key Technologies
- Augmented reality display and optics for wearable computing
- Spatial computing software platform and virtual workspace management
- Privacy-by-design AR architecture (screen visible only to wearer)
- Lightweight AR glasses integration with keyboard/trackpad base unit
- Multi-window virtual display management and spatial UI
Use Cases & Applications
- Private mobile computing workspace for professionals in shared spaces
- Multi-monitor virtual workspace for productivity without external displays
- Secure mobile workstation for defense/intelligence personnel handling sensitive information
- AR tactical display for command and control visualization in the field
- Situational awareness overlay for military mission planning and briefing
- Classified information review in non-SCIF environments with visual privacy protection
Strategic Value to U.S.-Israel Alliance
Visual privacy and secure mobile computing are critical needs for allied defense and intelligence organizations. Sightful's AR workstation could enable personnel to work with sensitive information in forward-deployed or travel scenarios without SCIF requirements.
