Napster View: What Everyone Needs to Know About the Holographic AI Device Changing the Game
The Next Era of AI Collaboration Has Arrived
Napster, the company that forever changed how we listened to music, is doing it again—this time redefining how we work, create, and collaborate with AI. With the release of Napster 26 and its revolutionary hardware companion, Napster View, the brand is bringing embodied artificial intelligence out of chat windows and into the real world.
A Quick Overview
Napster View is a glasses-free holographic display designed to project lifelike AI companions directly into your workspace. Available now for $99, it includes one month of full access to the Napster 26 platform, which connects users to over 15,000 specialized AI experts—from music producers and coding instructors to wellness coaches and business strategists.

Napster 26 is a complete AI creation platform for Mac (with web, iOS, and Android access coming soon) that gives everyone a “creative crew” of holographic AI collaborators. At its heart sits Napster View, the hardware hub that transforms AI from text into three-dimensional presence.
Rather than typing prompts and waiting for answers, you can now interact face-to-face with embodied AI colleagues who see your screen, understand your goals, and assist in real time. Napster calls it “the end of the chatbot era.”

Key Features of Napster View
1. Holographic Second Screen
Napster View acts as a spatial display sitting just above your Mac. It creates a dedicated zone for AI interactions—keeping your main screen clear while allowing natural eye contact with digital companions. No VR headset or glasses are needed.
2. Live 3D Holographic Video Calling
Collaborate with your AI team or connect with other Napster users’ digital twins via live holographic video calls. It’s like Zoom—but in 3D and with the option to invite your own AI counterpart to join the meeting.
3. Natural Conversation Interface
Napster View enables voice-driven, push-to-talk communication, letting users engage in real conversation. Each AI remembers prior interactions, learns your style, and grows more contextual over time.
4. Hyper-Real Digital Twins
Create an AI-powered version of yourself—your digital twin—anchored in your LinkedIn profile and knowledge base. Your twin can collaborate, teach, or even attend virtual meetings on your behalf.

Why Napster View Matters
The launch marks Napster’s evolution from music pioneer to AI infrastructure company. In the early 2000s, Napster democratized access to music. Now, in 2025, it’s democratizing access to expertise—removing barriers of geography, cost, and connections.
As CEO John Acunto explains, “"The creative economy has been locked behind barriers of access, expertise, and cost. Napster 26 tears down those walls. This isn't an app—it's the infrastructure for a new era of human creativity. Your digital twin. Your expert crew across every domain. Your collaborators are available 24/7. We're not just enabling what people couldn't do before—we're fundamentally redefining what's possible when AI becomes your creative partner, not just your tool."

Napster’s latest platform invites users to build, publish, and monetize creations alongside their AI collaborators. Instead of being consumers of content, users become co-creators in a new digital economy, where their digital twins and AI companions generate value around the clock.
According to CTO Edo Segal, “ChatGPT and similar platforms represent incredible technology, but they’re essentially sophisticated command lines. The Napster 26 platform brings AI to life through holographic companions who see your work, understand your goals, and collaborate in real-time. They live on the frontier of Agentic AI.
Bottom Line

Napster View isn’t just another gadget—it’s the interface for the next stage of human-AI collaboration. With a holographic second screen, 3D AI companions, and seamless integration into Napster 26, it transforms how creators, students, and professionals work and innovate.
For $99, users can experience what Napster calls “the infrastructure for a new era of creativity.” But, remember there will be a monthly fee for you to cover after the first month.
I’m currently testing Napster View myself and will be sharing an in-depth review in the coming days on GearBrain. Stay tuned to learn how this holographic AI companion performs in real-world creative and professional workflows—and whether it truly lives up to its revolutionary promise.
