The future of DJing is about to take a major leap forward.
In an exciting new development, AlphaTheta has partnered with Meta (Ray-Ban | Meta) to introduce a groundbreaking way to control rekordbox — using only your eyes and head movements.
This innovative technology uses advanced optical tracking built directly into Meta glasses, allowing DJs to perform completely hands-free. Designed with both performance and creativity in mind, this system opens up entirely new ways to interact with your music.

🎧 What Is Eye-Control DJing?
Eye-control DJing enables users to trigger actions in rekordbox through subtle gestures — such as blinking or tilting your head — removing the need for physical interaction with controllers or decks.
This could be a game-changer for:
• Live performers looking to add visual flair
• DJs managing complex, multi-layered sets
• Hybrid artists combining DJing with instruments or vocals
• Content creators and streamers

⚙️ Key Features (Beta)
The system is currently in beta testing and includes:
• Single blink (left/right): Trigger playback on Deck 1 or Deck 2
• Double blink (left/right): Set cue points instantly
• Double-eye blink: Pause both decks simultaneously
• Head tilt (left/right): Activate an 8-bar loop on the corresponding deck
All controls are designed to feel natural and responsive, allowing DJs to stay fully immersed in their performance.

👓 Hardware Requirements
To access this new functionality, DJs will need compatible Meta (Ray-Ban | Meta) smart glasses, which enable the optical tracking system that powers the controls.

🧪 Beta Testing & Release
