HaloXR II
Scene capture for law enforcement, on iPhone.
Prototype
HaloXR II turns an iPhone into a scene capture system. Officers record a crime or collision scene as a measured, photo-textured 3D model in minutes, and every scan is processed on the iPhone itself, or at full resolution on a computer inside the department.
Each scan becomes a complete evidence package: one offline file with the 3D scene, photos, a CR-3 base plate and a signature from the device, ready to open on a department computer.
- Processing
- On the iPhone, or on a department PC
- Integrity
- SHA-256 hash, signed with a key in the Secure Enclave

Triaxis Depth Engine
The engine that turns a LiDAR scan into a measured 3D model.
In development
Triaxis is the 3D reconstruction engine inside HaloXR II. It turns a walk-through LiDAR scan from an iPhone into a textured, measurable 3D model: on the iPhone in under a minute, or at full resolution on a computer inside the department.
It cleans the raw scan, chooses the best photo for every surface, balances their exposure and paints them onto the model, with every file signed and logged from the first frame for the chain of custody.
- On the iPhone
- 30 to 60 seconds
- On a department PC
- Full resolution, in 1 to 3 minutes
- Used in
- HaloXR II
Blackjack
Debug an iPhone from a Mac, through its Lightning port.
Prototype
Blackjack plugs into an iPhone or iPad through its Lightning port and gives a Mac direct access to the chip inside. Halt and step the processor, read and write memory, follow the serial console and move the device between recovery and DFU, all from one USB-C cable. It is an alternative to Kanzi and Koba, the debug probes Apple uses internally.
It works with the debugging tools you already use. To the Mac, Blackjack is a standard debug probe.
- Alternative to
- Apple’s Kanzi and Koba probes
- Debugging
- SWD access to the application processor
- Console
- The device’s serial console, live
- Board
- 55 × 24 mm, 8 layers
GTA V on Apple Silicon
A Windows game engine, running natively on the Mac and iPhone.
Research
This project studies how a large Windows game engine can run natively on Apple silicon without Wine or Rosetta. The engine is compiled for ARM64 from one source tree, as an app for the Mac and for iPhone. A native implementation of the required Win32 interfaces takes the place of Windows, and DXMT translates Direct3D 11 to Metal.
This is independent research. It is not affiliated with or endorsed by Rockstar Games or Take-Two Interactive. No game code or assets are distributed.

Rosetta
Our own control for the ProtoTRAK SMX knee mill.
In development
Rosetta is control software for the ProtoTRAK SMX, written from the ground up. It runs on the machine’s own control computer and speaks directly to its servo board, so the motors, drives and wiring stay exactly as they are.
It runs ProtoTRAK programs and standard G-code, shows the tool path as it cuts, and adds probing cycles the original control never had.

- ProtoTRAK SMX knee mill
- Programs
- ProtoTRAK PT4 and G-code
- Runs on
- The machine’s existing control computer
Head Unit Emulator
A car’s infotainment system, running on a Mac.
Research
An emulator for BMW’s NBT Evo head unit, the iDrive 6 system in cars from 2016 on. It recreates the unit’s circuit board in software and boots the unit’s own operating system and applications, so its software can be studied and tested on a desk, without the car.
- Unit
- NBT Evo, iDrive 6
- Runs on
- Mac, in QEMU
- Status
- Boots to the iDrive home screen
Spectre
The assistant from Handbook, as an app of its own.
In development
Spectre already answers questions inside Handbook. On its own, it becomes an assistant for everything around the work: a voice to think out loud with, a researcher for the questions that take an afternoon, and a memory that stays in your hands.
Talk it through
Hold a conversation by voice, hands free, and pick it up later in text.
Research in depth
Ask a hard question and Spectre reads widely, then comes back with an answer and its sources.
Tasks for later
Schedule a task to run tomorrow or every week, and the result is waiting when it is done.
Sees what you see
Show it a photo of a part, a nameplate or a drawing, and ask about it.
Memory you control
Decide what Spectre remembers about you. Review it, change it or clear it at any time.
Private by design
Conversations are encrypted on your iPhone before they sync, and Spectre runs on servers Deoxy Labs owns.
