INAIR Pod 2D to 3D Conversion: Activating Real-Time Depth in 2026

How Does the INAIR Pod 2D to 3D Conversion Work?

The INAIR Pod 2D to 3D conversion utilizes an onboard Vision Transformer AI chip to analyze standard, flat 2D videos in real-time. It instantly generates a depth map, separating foreground objects from backgrounds, and outputs a Side-by-Side (SBS) stereoscopic image to your AR glasses. To activate this, simply use the designated 3D switch within the INAIR OS while playing media. This allows you to experience massive, immersive 3D depth on platforms like YouTube without needing to hunt for specialized VR video files.

Troubleshooting Unexpected 3D Modes

While the 2D-to-3D feature is heavily praised, some users encounter strange behavior, specifically when using third-party accessories.

The Issue: "When I connect my Viture Luma Ultras using a third-party hub adapter, the glasses automatically switch into 3D mode, displaying two side-by-side screens that I can't merge." The Fix: This happens because certain third-party adapters send an incorrect signal to the glasses, forcing them into SBS mode prematurely. We highly recommend using the official INAIR Hub adapter to ensure the connection is secure. If you are stuck in a side-by-side view, use the physical button on your AR glasses (or the settings in INAIR SPACE) to toggle the display mode back to a single immersive screen.

Can I Use This for 3D Projectors?

A great question from our community: "I want to buy the INAIR Pod to convert 2D videos into 3D to watch on my XGIMI projector. Does this work?"

Yes, the INAIR Pod's conversion engine processes the video feed. However, to connect the Pod to a standard HDMI projector, you will need our dedicated HDMI to Type-C projection adapter cable. Ensure your projector supports standard Side-by-Side 3D formats and that you have the appropriate 3D shutter glasses for your projector.

Bring Real-Time 3D to Your Own Setup

The INAIR Pod does the 2D-to-3D conversion for glasses or projectors alike. If projectors are your main use case, our dedicated INAIR 3D Kit is built specifically for that setup.

Depth shouldn't require hunting down specialized files—it should just happen in real time, on whatever screen you already have. Discover more about what we're building.
