Display Glasses on a Cable iOS

Lyrics on the lens, hands on the guitar.

XREAL, Viture, RayNeo and Rokid. No pairing, no account, no network.

How they differ from the G2

These glasses are not a separate app or an integration. Each one is a screen that plugs into your iPad or iPhone with a single USB-C lead, so QMe simply draws to it the way it would draw to a monitor. That has one big consequence on stage: nothing travels over wifi, bluetooth or the internet, so there is nothing to drop out. The G2 is wireless and hands-free, which a cable can't match; a cable can't lose signal, which wireless can't match. They suit different gigs.

What you need

Tools → Glasses Mode → pick your glasses

A USB-C port that carries video, which Apple calls DisplayPort Alt Mode. The USB-C iPad Pro has it, as do several iPad Air and mini models, and iPhone 15 onward. Older Lightning devices cannot drive these glasses at all, whatever adapter you use.

Setting up

Plug them in. That is genuinely the whole thing. QMe notices the screen and starts sending it a lyric view: large text with the chords above the words, the line you're on in the middle, and what's coming next below. Your iPad keeps the full interface, so scrolling, pedals, MIDI, the metronome and recording all carry on exactly as before. The glasses are a second screen, not a separate mode.

A screen for the room instead

Any screen QMe sends to can show the words for an audience rather than your own view. See Audience View.

See it before you buy

Glasses Mode → any wired pair → Preview the glasses view

Opens the real glasses view full screen on your own device, so you can judge the size and layout without owning a pair. Open a song first and it shows your own lyrics, following along as you scroll.

Any USB-C monitor behaves identically, so a spare screen at home is a fair test of what the glasses will do at a gig.
