VR Compatible Applications

For ap plications to p rovide 3D st ereoscop ic vid eo and /or head t r acking,

these capabilities must be enabled specifically for each application.

Types of VR Support

Vuzix VR support can be enabled in two ways:

Native Support: Stereosc op ic 3D vid eo and /or head tr acking supp ort

written directly into an application by the application’s creator.

Vuzix Extension: Stereoscop ic 3D video and /or head t r acking sup p ort

added to the program by a 3

party or independent programmer. Vuzix

Extensions are enab led thr ough the VR Manager software p r ovid ed with the

VR920 eyewear or downloaded from the Vuzix website (www.vuzix.com).

Ideally, Native Support is included in the original release of an application.

This generally provides the best possible 3D and tracking performance and

allows for configuration op t ions t o p ersonalize your VR exp er ience.

Native Support programs do not require Vuzix Extensions and therefore are

not inc luded in the Monit or section of the VR Manager software.

When a p r ogram d oes not provid e Native Sup por t, Vuzix or other 3

party

developers are often able to ad d 3D video and /or trac king supp ort

through a pr ogramming interface c alled a Vuzix Ext ension. Vuzix Extensions

rely upon an applications ability to except external commands and

therefore cannot be created for all applications.

Vuzix Extensions, published by Vuzix, are list ed in the Monitor section of the

VR Manager Software. See the VR Manager section of this documentation for

instr uct ions on enabling Vuzix Extensions and ob taining ad dit ional

information on the supp ort offered b y each.

A list ing of known Native Supp ort and Vuzix Extension supp or ted

applications is available on the Vuzix website.
