Section 1
STAR 1200XLD Introduction
This Introduction section provides exposure to important terms and key aspects of the video
eyewear, helping you to better understand its functions and capabilities.
It provides an overview of what AR is, how AR content is created and the roll of the STAR
1200XLD in delivering compelling AR experiences. The Introduction also explains how this
Users Guide is setup and formatted for fast and easy access to information.
-
.
The STAR 1200XLD extends the Vuzix STAR AR eyewear series with a wide field of view,
adjustable eye-separation, a high-performance 1080p HD camera and HDMI® connectivity.
HDMI (High-Definition Multimedia Interface) enables the STAR 1200XLD to connect to
virtually any audio/video device with HDMI output for improved video quality.
Vuzix’ patented quantum optic see-through technology enables you to see the world directly
through its transparent widescreen video displays. Computer content, such as text, images and
video, is displayed overlaying your real-world view. The STAR 1200XLD provides what appears
to be a 75-inch flat panel screen, as seen from 10 feet (~3m) and is able to display 2D or 3D
video from a Windows computer through virtually any graphics card with HDMI output.
A 1080p high definition UVC (Universal Video Class) compliant video camera is integrated onto
the face of the eyewear. It connects independently through its own USB connection for
maximum flexibility and is recognized by the computer’s operating system as a standard USB
webcam.
Rounding out the STAR 1200XLD’s capabilities is the Wrap Tracker, a 3-DOF (Degrees Of
Freedom) head tracker. When used with supporting software, the Wrap Tracker enhances spacial
awareness by providing head movement and positioning data to applications, thereby enabling
‘see where you look’ graphics.
The STAR 1200XLD is a see-through AR eyewear system that enables the wearer to see the world
directly with computer-generated content overlaid in the transparent displays.
The above image shows a view of a real world desktop with the two animated characters (circled)
overlaid in the users view.
In this AR scene the user is able to see the desktop through the eyewear’s transparent displays.
The HD camera, mounted on the STAR 1200XLD captures the scene, including the AR Markers
laying on the desktop and provides its video feed to the AR application on the user’s host
computer. The AR application recognizes the AR Marker (paddle with a black & white pattern)
and displays the animation content in the STAR 1200XLD displays.
For the user, the AR characters come to life and seemingly perform on the desktop.
Note: The above AR example can be viewed in a video “VuzAR Introduction”, available on the Vuzix
website.
The STAR 1200XLD’s modular design enables maximum flexibility with a variety of host
devices*, used to process and/or serve AR, VR or audio/video content.
* A “host device” is the device used to process and/or serve audio/video content to the eyewear.
Typical examples include a personal computer or mobile device such as a smartphone or
tablet.
STAR 1200XLD Video Display with HDMI Controller:
•Requires an audio/video host device with HDMI output
(i.e.: PC, mobile or other audio/video device with an HDMI port)
•HDMI 1.2 and 1.4a compatible
Note: Some DRM (Digital Rights Management) protected content requires a HDMI 1.4a compatible
host in order to display 3D content.
HD Camera:
•Personal computer supporting UVC (Universal Video Class) compliant camera
•USB 2.0 port (powered)
Head Tracker
•Personal computer running Windows 8, 7, Vista (32 or 64-bit) operating system
•USB 2.0 port (powered)
Other Components & Host Devices:
•All of the STAR 1200XLD’s key components are Windows compatible. Some of the
STAR components may work with other operating systems and host devices. Some
features and capabilities are not supported on non-Windows devices and compatibility is
not guaranteed.
•The video eyewear display has been demonstrated to work with all HDMI compliant
devices tested, but compatibility with all devices and content cannot be guaranteed.
•Some components, such as the camera and tracker, require a powered USB 2.0 port and
compatible host device and operating system. In some cases, these components may
require additional drivers, not provided by Vuzix, or support within the target
application.
•The STAR 1200XLD is supports audio and video display with MHL devices equipped
with an MHL adapter (not included). MHL connections do not support the use of the
STAR’s camera or tracker and require a continuous power connection to the MHL
adapter.
Vuzix provides online access to STAR 1200XLD software, documentation and updates.
•To download the complete set of software and documentation for this product, go to:
www.vuzix.com/DD
•To download individual files and/or updates, go to: www.vuzix.com/downloads
The term “Host Device” is used throughout this User Guide. It refers to the device providing an
audio/video feed to the eyewear. Many AR applications use a Windows PC as their host device
but content can also be served from a variety of other HDMI equipped host devices including
mobile phones, tablet, Blu-ray players or set-top entertainment and gaming systems.
AR processing requires a host device able to accept the AR camera feed, process the data and send
the content out to the STAR eyewear through the host device’s HDMI port.
Note: The STAR’s camera and tracker components are not compatible with HDMI equipped host
devices that do not provide compatible data input ports and/or drivers.

STAR 1200XLD Installation
Though the STAR 1200XLD installation and setup is fast and easy, there are specific
requirements. A Quick Start Guide is provided for those very familiar with hardware and
accessory installations but for most people, these more complete instructions are more
appropriate.
