Many people commonly refer to 3D video and head tracking support in a game or
simulation program as “virtual reality” as they make one feel immersed in the
program’s virtual environment. Unfortunately not all games and simulators
incorporate support for these empowering features.

To help fill this void, Vuzix developed a method of extending the capabilities of
many programs, adding 3D video and/or head tracking where the program’s original
code fell short. These VR capabilities are enabled through Vuzix Extensions,
provided in VR Manager.

§

Click on the VR Manager’s “Monitor” tab to access the listing of Vuzix

Extensions.

Each of the available Extensions will display one of three status indicators.

A grey marker indicates an Extension that has not yet been associated
with an application directory.

A yellow indicator identifies Extensions for which the appropriate
directories have been found but the Extension has not yet been enabled.

A green indicator identifies Extensions linked to applications and
enabled, ready to use.

§

Double-click on an Extension title to display notes relative to that Extension and

is setup.
