Installation & Setup
Installation Overview
n
Install the iWear Software. The iWear VR920 software MUST be installed prior to connecting
the video eyewear. Doing it the other way around will not damage your eyewear but Windows
will likely install the wrong drivers causing it to not function as intended.
o
Connect the eyewear. This part is fast and easy, but some steps vary depending upon your
operating system. Some installation steps have separate Windows XP and Vista instructions.
p
Configure your graphics card. In order for the eyewear displays to function, your display
properties must be configured correctly.
q
Calibrate your head-tracking. The tracking system uses magnet sensors and accelerometers
to generate tracking data. The magnetic sensors must be calibrated periodically to adjust for
magnetic fluctuations that occur naturally all around us.
If you encounter difficulties during the installation or when using your eyewear, please refer back to this
User’s Manual. You can also discuss eyewear issues with others by visiting the Vuzix VR920 Forum
