1.3 Basic Information for Application Development
Category
Description
CPU/ABI ARMv7 armeabi
Android API Level 15
Screen Density mdpi (160dpi)
UI Type Tablet UI
Orientation Landscape Only (No rotation by sensor)
USB Vendor ID 0x04B8
1.4 Difference from Smartphone
■HOME/MENU/BACK Keys are hardware buttons
■No touch screen feature on the display itself (only Touch pad on the controller is supported)
■Touch pad uses relative position method similar to PC pointing method
■Only Wi-Fi is supported (3G, LTE and other are not supported)
■No Google certification
Therefore、the following services that need Google certification are not supported:
・Google Play
・Google positioning information service
・Other services that require Google Certification

2. Supported Functions
MOVERIO BT-200 supports the following BT-200 specific functions/settings.
Full screen display function
3D contents display function
Switching sensor (from headset to controller, and vice versa)
Camera control parameters
Other than the above BT-200 specific functions, basic functions, such as controlling sensors, are accessed through
Android standard methods/API. Following section describes the above functions.

Moverio Technical Information （Rev.C） 4
2.1 Full screen display
BT-200 uses Android 4.0 Tablet UI. With this UI, Application is typically not allowed to use full screen. However,
application can use full screen with the following setting.
■In Application
Implement the following lines in each Activity onCreate().
Window win = getWindow();
WindowManager.LayoutParams winParams = win.getAttributes();
winParams.flags |= WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_SMARTFULLSCREEN;
win.setAttributes(winParams);
If application has multiple activities, implement above procedure in each Activity.
■Add import definition
import android.view.Window;
import android.view.WindowManager;
To use the import function, the file must be in the SDK. Using the Google standard SDK, the following
modification is used to avoid build errors.
■Modify definition value to immediate value (for Standard SDK)
Definition：FLAG_SMARTFULLSCREEN = 0x80000000;
winParams.flags |= WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_SMARTFULLSCREEN;
winParams.flags |= 0x80000000;

2.2 Camera control function
The camera resolution is VGA. The resolution is not high when compared with other cameras on smartphones.
This is because BT-200 doesn’t need to display image from its camera on its screen. Use the camera for marker
recognition or normal image capture with the following settings:
 For marker recognition
Use setSceneMode(SCENE_MODE_BARCODE) to Camera class to read markers. It is best optimized to
recognize markers like barcode.
 For Normal image capturing
Use setSceneMode(SCENE_MODE_AUTO) to Camera class.
Function API Value
White Balance setWhiteBalance(x) WHITE_BALANCE_AUTO
WHITE_BALANCE_FLUORESCENT
WHITE_BALANCE_INCANDESCENT
WHITE_BALANCE_DAYLIGHT
WHITE_BALANCE_CLOUDY_DAYLIGHT
Frame rate limit setPreviewFpsRange(x,30000) 4000, 8000, 10000, 15000, 30000
( 4 / 8 / 10 / 15 / 30 fps )
Exposure Setting setExposureCompensation(x) -3 ～+3
Edge enhancement set("sharpness",x) 0 ～7
Digital Zooming setZoom(x) 0 ～10 （0＝x1、10＝x4 ）

2.3 Sensor switching function
BT-200 has 9 axis sensor set (Accelerometer, Gyro, Compass) on both the controller and headset. Application
program can choose which sensor set to use. (There is no UI for the end user to switch.)
Each sensor axis is set as follows
Sensor Position and axis
Default setting is to use sensors on the controller. Application can switch the setting with the following interface.
 Switching from Application
Switching in Java layer can be done through API (ChangeSensor.java is provided separately).
■Class

■Interface
int chgSensorType(int type);

2.4 3D contents display function
BT-200 can display side-by-side 3D format contents on screen.
Side-by-side format is the format that contains left and right eye images in one frame.
To make side-by-side 3D contents, the original two 960 x 540 images must be compressed and combined into one
single 960 x 540 QHD frame (each image is thus reduced to 480 x 540).
To display the side-by-side images on the left and right screen separately, use the following interface.
■How to Use
using provided library
■Interface
int set2d3d(int dimenasion)
■Parameter

2.5 Setting Brightness
Application can change the display brightness level on the BT-200. The darker the backlight setting the display
image will be more transparent and will have more of a see-through effect.
■How to Use
using provided library
■Interface
int setBacklight(int backlight)
int getBacklight()
■Parameter
backlight or return value: Brightness level 0 (dark) – 20 (bright)
