Setup Guide

This documentation describes how to develop the Optical See-Through display app. It allows the user to see what is shown on the smart glasses screen while still being able to see through it (without the background of the camera). Image Tracker is supported with Optical See-Through display whereas all trackers are supported with Video See-Through display. Select 'None' at Wearable Type or refer to Unity Setup Guide to develop the Video See-Through display app.

Precautions

※ If the Android SDK is not properly configured, the file selection window of the message(Select Android SDK root folder) may appear. You can do this by choosing Edit> Preferences from the Unity Editor menu bar.

※ Since the BT-300 uses an x86 processor, building it with the default settings of Unity will not work properly. If you want to build a sample app on the BT-300, you must set the Device Filter to ARMv7 as follows:
