Mesh in XR

Meshmore XR

The first mesh-networking application built for XR glasses. Every node your MeshCore LoRa radio can hear, standing around you at its true compass bearing — no phone, no server, no account, no internet.

What it is

Meshmore XR turns a MeshCore LoRa companion radio and a pair of optical see-through glasses into a spatial view of your mesh. No phone in your hand, no map on a screen — the nodes stand in the room around you, at their true bearings, at a glance.

Why

MeshCore radios already form resilient, encrypted, many-hop LoRa networks that work where nothing else does — trails, festivals, disasters, open water. But every client until now rendered that living network the same way: a list and a map, in a rectangle, in your hand.

A mesh is not a list. Every node is somewhere — over that ridge, three streets east, behind you. Meshmore XR makes the network’s real geography the interface. You do not scroll to a repeater; you look toward it.

To our knowledge it is the first mesh-networking application built for XR glasses, and the first XR client for MeshCore. Glasses on your face, a radio in your pocket: a complete, infrastructure-free communications system, heads up and hands free in exactly the situations a mesh exists for.

What it does

  • The Horizon — every node your radio can hear, placed by real compass bearing and range. Live nodes hold the ring; a quiet mesh looks quiet.
  • Nine themes, three postures — a room-scale field, an active mode that moves with you on a hike or a ride, and a tabletop diorama that anchors to a real desk and remembers it.
  • Find anyone — search by name or key, star your friends’ nodes, tag the ones from that trip.
  • Messages, hands-free — threads read aloud per channel, replies by dictation or one-pinch canned responses, a wrist reel for triage.
  • Channels by voice — create a channel with a rolled two-word name and share it by saying it out loud, with honest guidance about what a spoken key can and cannot keep private.
  • 日本語 throughout, at kanji-legible sizes — a launch language, not a translation pass.

What it needs

Android XR glasses (built and tested on the XREAL Aura) and a MeshCore LoRa companion radio over Bluetooth. Nothing else: no account, no server, no internet permission.

Status

Active, v0.3.0, in development against a live 350-node mesh with a Japan launch in preparation. The spatial member of the Offline SNS family — Meshmore SNS carries the same mesh on phones, and the device guide covers the radios that run it. Follow the product page for the release.
