Laptop privacy no one can read over your shoulder
Privacy filters only narrow the angle. Spacetop removes the screen entirely — your work is for your eyes only, on a 100" private canvas.
Why laptop screens leak your work
Visual hacking is fast, silent, and effective — and a privacy filter only slows it down.
Shoulder surfing works
87% visual hacking success rate
2 seconds to copy a spreadsheet from 10 ft away
Filters protect side angles only — not over the shoulder
It happens everywhere
Planes, trains, cafés, and open offices
Sensitive client, financial, and patient data on screen
One glance can expose a deal, a filing, or a record
The hidden cost
Compliance exposure for finance, legal, and healthcare
Lost client trust after a single leak
Self-censoring what you work on in public
Why a privacy screen filter isn't enough
Physical privacy filters were designed for a single, stationary monitor. The way people actually work today — mobile, multi-app, in shared spaces — has outgrown them.
Filters narrow the angle. They don't remove the screen.
A privacy filter darkens your display when viewed from the side. But anyone directly behind you, leaning over your shoulder, or seated slightly above still sees everything. In a plane seat or a packed train, that's most of the people around you.
Spacetop takes a different approach: your entire workspace is rendered inside lightweight AR glasses. There is no visible screen to read at any angle, from any seat. Your work is, quite literally, for your eyes only.
Privacy shouldn't cost you screen space
Filters also shrink and dim what little screen you already have. Spacetop does the opposite — it gives you a 100-inch private canvas, so you can spread documents, models, and reference material across a multi-monitor workspace nobody else can see.
Built for regulated, high-stakes work
Finance, legal, accounting, and healthcare teams handle data that can't be glanced at by a stranger. Spacetop gives those teams desktop-class space with absolute visual privacy on the laptop they already carry — no extra monitors, no exposed screen.
Spacetop vs. a privacy screen filter

Frequently asked questions
Common questions about private mobile work with Spacetop.
Is my work really private with Spacetop?
Yes. Spacetop renders your workspace inside AR smart glasses, so what you see is visible only to you — not to anyone seated beside you, behind you, or across the aisle. Unlike a physical privacy filter, there is no screen for an onlooker to read at an angle.
Do I need special hardware?
Spacetop for Windows runs on the AI PC you already use, paired with lightweight AR glasses. There is no headset to learn and no new operating system — your existing Windows apps open in a 100-inch canvas.
How is this different from a laptop privacy screen?
A privacy filter only narrows the viewing angle and still leaves your screen readable from the side and over your shoulder. Spacetop removes the visible screen entirely, so sensitive work stays for your eyes only — while also giving you far more usable space.
