Lambent Get Lambent

Lambent rebuilds the films you already own, live, for the screen in front of you: 3D on Apple Vision Pro, upscaled HDR on your TV.

Lambent for Apple Vision Pro Coming soon

Every 2D film becomes 3D.

Lambent reads the depth of every frame and draws a separate picture for each eye, live, on the headset. There is nothing to convert first, and no PC is needed.

A frame from Sintel: a vast tree with roots spreading across a ridge, mountains behind it in a pink haze.
Sintel, through Lambent's depth models. The 3D view alternates the left and right eye.
  1. Reads the depth

    A neural network on the headset's Neural Engine estimates how far away everything is in each frame. On M2 a depth map takes about 35 ms.

  2. Builds two eyes

    A small learned warp turns depth into a smooth shift for every pixel, so the edges of near objects stay clean instead of tearing.

  3. Stays in step

    Frames are read ahead of the picture, so a moving edge and its depth arrive together. You choose how strong the 3D is, from a quarter to double.

A complete player for the headset

Immersive formats
VR180, VR360 and 3D side-by-side, on a dome around you or a screen you place, up to 8K.
Depth Ease
When something comes very close, Lambent eases it back to a comfortable distance. Everything farther away keeps its full depth.
AI cleanup on the headset
A network on the Neural Engine clears compression blocks from the part of the picture in front of you.
Enhanced by your PC
Add Lambent Server, and an RTX graphics card can upscale and lift the picture before it reaches the headset.
Take it with you
Download titles from your PC to the headset for offline viewing, 2D films included.

Free to download, and it plays your files without paying. 2D to 3D, Depth Ease and the PC-enhanced picture come with Lambent Immersive, with a free 7-day trial. See pricing

Lambent for TV Coming soon

Put your PC's GPU between the film and your TV.

A streaming box scales every film itself, before your TV ever sees it. Lambent does that work on your PC's NVIDIA RTX graphics card instead, live, and sends the TV a finished 4K HDR picture.

AI Upscaling

A 1080p film comes out at 4K, with fine detail resolved and compression damage cleaned up on the way. The Apple TV or tablet can also finish the job on the device.

RTX HDR

Auto HDR

SDR films are lifted to HDR, with brighter highlights and more colour, in Dolby Vision or HDR10+ on screens that take them. Not every TV can do this on its own. A title that is already HDR plays untouched.

Smoother motion
Frame interpolation for low frame rate titles.
Live, with no copies
Nothing is converted ahead of time, and nothing extra lands on your disk.
See for yourself
Compare the enhanced picture against the original on any title.
Every screen in the house
TVs, phones and tablets share one subscription, on one server.

Your library always plays free at its original quality. The enhanced picture comes with Lambent Enhance: US$4.99 a month, US$39.99 a year or US$79.99 once, with a 7-day free trial. See pricing

How it works

One PC does the heavy lifting. Every screen gets the result.

Lambent Server runs on the computer you already have. For each title and each screen, it decides what to send and how to enhance it. The apps only have to play.

Your library

  • Video folders on your PC
  • Your Plex server
