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 clear 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.

Who makes it

The source is developed by IoTone, Inc. and the application is released by IoTone Japan, which handles the app’s release and support. Questions about the published app go to IoTone Japan via the product page; code issues and contributions go to the GitHub repository.

Status

Active, v0.3.0, in development against a live 350-node mesh, with a Japan launch by IoTone Japan 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.
