A sandboxed VM, simulated to the pixel.

This labs page is a transparent, in-browser simulator of how a gated Xbox-streaming virtual machine is provisioned, ToS-verified, and human-promoted to production. Nothing here touches the network. Nothing here collects data. Everything happens in your tab.

Spins up a fake sandbox VM with synthetic GPU passthrough
Lets you feel bitrate, latency, and packet loss on a live 8-bit stream
Walks the ToS gate as a real, auditable checklist — not a click-through
Models the human-review promotion queue, transparently

Honest about what this is: a simulator. There is no real VM, no real capture card, and no real reviewer on the other end. Everything you see is computed locally for demonstration. No PII is ever requested or stored.

Read each clause. The verification hash is computed locally from the boxes you check.

I will not use this sandbox to stream copyrighted content I do not own or have a license to redistribute.
I understand the sandbox is ephemeral, resets on reload, and stores no personal data.
I will not attempt to use the capture pipeline to record other users, identifiers, or device telemetry.
I acknowledge promotion to a production gaming VM requires a human reviewer to approve my ticket.
I understand this entire page is a simulator and nothing here is networked or persisted off-device.
