The general appearance of the interface has been adapted to the dark environment in which it is used. Its intuitive menu structure is quick to navigate and all functionality is conveniently packaged in a single section, improving workflow and eliminating the need for additional tools. Dedicated software offers greater control over the color space and allows for per-eye color correction for 3D content.
