LumenDesk works with any display glasses that take DisplayPort video over USB-C (often called "DP Alt Mode"). If your glasses show your iPhone's screen when you plug them in, they work with LumenDesk — no app, driver or adapter from the glasses maker needed.
Your iPhone (15, 16 or 17) sends video out of its USB-C port using DisplayPort. LumenDesk treats the glasses as a normal external display: it puts a full 1920×1080 workspace on them and turns the phone into the trackpad and keyboard. That's why LumenDesk isn't tied to one brand and doesn't need the maker's SDK: any wired USB-C DisplayPort glasses are a screen, and every screen works.
Quick test: plug the glasses into your iPhone. If you see your home screen in the glasses, you're set.
These are wired USB-C DisplayPort glasses according to their manufacturers' specifications. We can't test every model ourselves, so treat this as a guide and use the quick test above if in doubt.

The free workspace (big-screen browser, trackpad and keyboard, reader, teleprompter, voice copilot) needs only the iPhone and the glasses.
To see and control your own Mac from anywhere, the Mac needs an Apple-silicon chip (M1 or newer) and macOS 13 or later, running the free LumenDesk Connect app. Intel Macs aren't supported for remote access.
