This User Guide provides instructions, and reference information relevant to VR
Manager software, version 4 and later.

VR Manager is a software application that provides head tracker and stereoscopic
3D video support for Vuzix video eyewear products connected to a Windows based
personal computer.

When launched, VR Manager 4 inspects your system for attached Vuzix hardware.
The features, options and capabilities available will vary dependent upon the model
of eyewear connected to your computer. Some aspects of the software demonstrated
in this manual may not be available to your eyewear model.

VR Manager Sections

VR Manager is divided into four sections; Calibrator, Monitor, Creator and Misc.
Tools. Depending upon your needs, you may not have reason to use al of these.

Calibrator

This tool enables accurate calibration of the Vuzix head tracker incorporated into or
plugged into your Vuzix video eyewear. It recognizes the various models of Vuzix
trackers, provides a calibration process and saves the calibration values.

Monitor

VR capabilities such as 3D video and head tracking support can be incorporated
directly into an applications code or, in some cases, enabled through an external
Extension, such as those provided with VR Manager. A broad assortment of thee
Extensions are provided along with the means to identify supported applications and
load the required resources.

Creator

Creator is an innovative resource that allows you to create your own Extensions to
enable 3D video and/or head tracking in games and simulators not already
supported. No programming is required, just the selection of the right combination
of available settings and parameters.
