User Manual
When setting up eGlass, it’s best to follow the steps below in order.
For example, you’ll need to see the camera image before “Calibrating Lighting”, which
is why “Installing Software” is a few steps ahead of “Calibrating Lighting”.

Step Assembly
For added stability and security, eGlass can be mounted semi-permanently or permanently to a flat
workspace. If you decide you’d like to mount eGlass to a specific place, you have two mounting options:
OPTION 1
Using the optional included Adhesive Mounting Plates (semi-permanent)*
�Secures eGlass to flat, non-porous surfaces without the need for drilling holes into your work surface.
�Can be removed and reinstalled elsewhere.*
�May leave behind adhesive residue occasionally.
�Installation:
1. Clean the desired surface, ensuring it is complexity
dry and non-porous.
2. After eGlass is assembled and the Support Legs
have been installed to the desired height,
use - 8x Support Leg Thumb Screws to secure the
Adhesive Mounting Plates to the bottom of the
eGlass legs. Do not remove the protective film
from the bottom of the mounting plate's adhesive strips.
3. Place eGlass in the desired location on your work surface
and verify the selected location is comfortable.
4. Slightly tilt the eGlass, exposing the adhesive strips on
the bottom of the Adhesive Mounting Plates.
Remove the protective film from the adhesive strips and casually lower eGlass down to sit flat.
5. Apply downward pressure on all sides of the mounting plates for 30 seconds, ensuring the adhesive
strips properly adhere to the work surface.
�To remove the Adhesive Mounting Plates and reinstall
elsewhere, apply gradually increasing backwards pressure
too the eGlass frame, as if you were pulling eGlass towards
you. This gradually increasing pressure will slowly peel the
adhesive strips off of the work surface, until the mounting
plates release from the work surface. You may now repeat
the installation steps with the same adhesive strips, but keep
in mind the effective reusability and adhesion strength is
reduced with each reapplication. If your adhesive strips are
no longer sticky, try gently hand-cleaning them with water
(do not use a rag or paper towels), allowing them to fully dry
before reinstallation.
*IMPORTANT: Adhesive bonding strength is reduced after 1x use. If your adhesive strips are no longer
sticky, please contact eGlass support at https://www.eglass.io/support.

OPTION 2
Mounting eGlass directly to the work surface (permanent)
�The most stable option
�Requires drilling permanent holes in the chosen work surface.
�Requires additional hardware (not included)
�Installation:
1. Select and verify the location you’d like to install eGlass.
2. Place eGlass on the select location (do not use Adhesive Mounting Plates)
3. Select the appropriate sized and rated hardware (screws, washers) based on your work surface’s
` material type (most desk surfaces are typically wood or laminate).
4. Install hardware through the 8x exposed mounting holes on the bottom of the
Support Legs into the work surface

Connect Computer
Use the included USB Cable to connect a PC, Mac, or Chromebook to the USB-In port on the bottom right
side of the eGlass frame.
Connect Power
A. Connect the Power Adapter to the Power Cable.
B. Then plug one end of the Power Cable into a protected AC power outlet,
C. and the other end of the Power Adapter into the DC-in port on the bottom left sider of the eGlass frame.

Computer Placement
For optimal results, place computer screen on the other side of glass as close to eGlass camera as possible.
This will simulate eye contact when looking towards the computer screen.
Because computer will on the other side of glass and out of reach, use a mouse and keyboard (not included)
to operate.
For best results, use the laptop stand as pictured below to position computer screen even closer
to the eGlass camera.

ink flows to tip.
Store pens upside-down
when not in use to keep

For a glowing e ect, we recommend using neon dry erase markers, which can be purchased online.
Some recommended brands are:
Quartet Glass Whiteboard Dry Erase Markers - Neon
Arteza Glass Board Dry Erase Markers - Neon
Expo Neon Window Dry Erase Markers
To erase pen ink, simply use the included cloth to wipe the glass clean. Foaming glass cleaning solutions can
be used occasionally, but are not necessary for every day use.
The special properties of neon dry erase ink causes erased ink flakes to “clump” more
than standard dry erase markers, sometimes dirtying one's workspace. However, this
clumping is preferred as it causes ink particles to fall rather than remaining in the air
like standard dry erase particles do. Use a rag or small handheld vacuum to
occasionally clean your workspace of fallen ink flakes.
Flip the On/off Power Switch to provide
power to the glass lighting system.
Before writing on the glass, turn the Glass Lights
dial (found on the Control Panel) to its maximum
setting by rotating it clockwise.

Choosing the right background is essential, because it will appear in the wide angle camera ’s field of
view. Any light sources will make it harder to read the glowing ink. Furthermore, it is best to use eGlass
against a background that is free from clutter to minimize distractions.
For a strikingly dramatic look, use a dark backdrop (such as a black sheet pinned to the wall with
thumbtacks). This will make the ink glow vividly against the black background.

The objectives when calibrating lighting:
Reduce background brightness as much as possible.
Maximize ink brightness so that it stands-out in contrast against the now-darkened background.
Ensure instructor is properly lit so that viewers can see the instructor's face.
Calibrating the Lighting is one of the most important steps when setting up eGlass. When properly
calibrated, the lighting settings will make the ink glow vividly. eGlass features exposure controls that
allow it to be used in bright rooms. Even a white wall can be made darker by lowering the exposure
eGlass exposure.
Note: Before calibrating lighting, you need to have the software installed and running on you computer so
that you can see the eGlass image. You also need to active a neon pen and prepare to write on the glass.
Before Calibrating Lighting
