VMote

A Wi-Fi remote for Valerion projectors, with big, easy-to-hit keys for every control. It's made for the phone in your hand, and it's even better on a foldable.

What it does

Every control, one tap away

01

Picture modes for what's playing

VMote asks the projector which modes work for the current video (SDR, HDR, HDR10+ or Dolby Vision) and shows them by the names your projector uses.

02

Scenes in one tap

Save a Sports or Movie night setup once: picture mode per format, color temperature, laser, black level, motion and aspect ratio. Then it's one tap.

03

Wake from standby

Turn the projector on from your phone over Wi-Fi. Scan its MAC address with the camera once and you're set.

04

Built for foldables

A compact remote on the cover screen, and a full control deck with picture settings side by side when you unfold.

05

Status at a glance

Input, resolution, frame rate, HDR format, color depth, laser level, fan speed and temperatures, all on one screen.

06

Six color themes

Cinema, Midnight, Forest, Crimson, Violet and Slate. The app icon changes to match your theme.

Michael KonieczkiPronounced: connect-ski

My experience in customer care and technical support has galvanized my belief that UX is like a joke: if you have to explain it, it's not that good.

My UX & Visual Interface Design certificate from the University of Washington sharpened those instincts. These days I put them to work building apps of my own, like VMote and the 4K UHD Blu‑ray Tracker.
