VR-Expert Tips
Best Room Setting:
●Ample light (50 lux) evenly distributed - Think a living room lit in the
evening
●Walls and floors with objects on them rather than broad empty
surfaces
●A chair to sit in while developing - But protect the Lightwear cable
from catching chair arms or furniture
Challenging Conditions:
●Transparent or reflective surfaces, solid white or black walls,
●Crowded areas with moving people, pets, or objects
●Shiny furniture, walls and floors
●Bright overhead lighting can cause tiny rainbows in the optical
display
●Large open spaces with features more than 5 meters from the device
●Direct sunlight or dimly lit areas
●Rooms with glass walls (Tip: Place sticky notes on walls for reference
points.)
View Launcher:
Hold down the Home button for about 3 seconds to return to Launcher, the
home screen for Magic Leap 1. From here you can launch apps and
manage Magic Leap 1 apps and settings.
●Launch Apps: Highlight an app from the launcher using the control
pointer or swiping on the touchpad, and press the trigger to select it.
