The makers of the Astropad, an iOS app that turns your iPad into a graphics tablet for the Mac, have announced Luna Display, the first and currently only hardware solution that turns an iPad into a wireless second display for your Mac computer.
Luna is available for USB-C or Mini DisplayPort and works with your existing WiFi. The device allows you to use your Mac directly from the iPad with full support using external keyboards, Apple Pencil and Apple touch interactions including pinching, panning and tapping.
Its makers say that Luna, unlike software-based solutions, can tap into the processing power of your Mac’s GPU, allowing for a virtually lag-free user experience and images without glitching, artifacting or blurriness.
The team behind Luna is funding the project on Kickstarter where you can pre-order the device for $ 69. Delivery is expected for May 2018. The crowdfunding project has already reached its goal multiple times over, so production and shipping should go ahead as planned.
