View System Requirements
Wrap 920AR System Requirements:The Wrap 920AR is a modular design enabling maximum flexibility. Some of this product’s components may be compatible with certain operating environments while others have very different compatibility profiles. To provide the broadest possible explanation, the composition of the product and each of the independent Wrap 920AR components must be looked at separately.
Product Composition:- The Wrap 920AR is composed of three hardware sections; the video eyewear display, the video camera system and a host device interface, referred to as a Controller or Control Box.
- The video camera system connects independently to the host system through it own USB 2.0 cable and connector. The model of Controller being used to connect the video eyewear display to the host system does not impact its connection.
- The video eyewear display module connects to a host device through the Controller. The Controller governs its compatibility and connectivity.
- A variety of Controllers are available but basically, they enable a Wrap 920AR to be connected to either the VGA video port and USB 2.0 ports on a PC or a composite video port on a multitude of devices ranging from video camera and DVD players to mobile phones.
- Video eyewear display + Controller = host device compatibility
Components:Wrap 920 Video Display
As described above, the compatibility of the video display is completely dependent upon the Controller being used. If the Controller is compatible with a the host device, the eyewear display will show the video in 2D or 3D, based upon the content being played.
Audio System
The audio system is also dependent on the Controller and its host compatibility.
If the Controller is working with a composite video host, the audio system will play the audio. If the host device is a personal computer connected through a Wrap VGA Controller, the PC will see the audio system as a standard USB speaker system and function accordingly.
Stereo Video Cameras
The video camera system connects independently to USB 2.0 port on a personal computer. It does not utilize nor does the Controller connected to the eyewear display impact the cameras.
The compatibility of the stereo camera system is governed by the available drivers – currently for Windows 7, Vista and XP operating systems only.
Note: Some users have reported success using the cameras with alternate operating systems. This is a configuration not officially supported by Vuzix and we are unable to offer additional assistance with this type of configuration.
Head Tracker
The Wrap Tracker 6TC requires the use of the Wrap VGA Controller and is only supported by Windows 7, Vista and XP operating systems.
Additionally, code must be provided in software to enable use of the tracker. A Vuzix SDK is available for download and provides examples of how support is enabled.
Neither cabled nor wireless Tracker support is currently available other than the Wrap VGA Controller.
Wrap VGA Controller
The Wrap VGA Controller (adapter) is interned for use with a Windows 7, Vista and XP personal computer.
Note: Some users have been success using portions of the Wrap 920AR when connected to alternate operating systems. In most cases, Linux and Mac operating systems can support 2D and 3D video display, with the correctly formatted video content but other components may not function on those same systems. These a configurations are not officially supported by Vuzix and we are unable to offer additional assistance with them.
Wrap AA Control Box
This Control Box is powered by two AA batteries and enables the Wrap video eyewear display to connect to a composite video host device. Alternate Controllers with a variety of battery options are available from the Vuzix website and perform the same service.
Please note that Tracker support is not provided by this and other composite Controllers.
VR Manager Software
VR Manager is a Windows based software that provides head tracker calibration, enables 3D video and tracker support in a number of Windows application and enables the creation of VR enabling extensions for Windows program.
This application is a Windows only product.
maxReality Software
Both the maxReality AR authoring plug-in and is independent Viewer application are Windows based applications. They are not compatible with other operating systems.
AR Marker Paddles
Two AR marker paddles are provided with the Wrap 920AR. These markers are designed for compatibility with the ALVAR marker system from VTT.
Note: Though other AR authoring system may be able to learn markers and use these, such use is not officially supported by Vuzix and we are unable to offer additional assistance with this type of usage scenario.

Augmented reality or AR is a mixture of the real-world and virtual computer-generated imagery or information.
With the Wrap 920AR, the real world is captured by it’s stereo camera system and displayed in the eyewear on what appears to your eyes as a 67-inch display as seen from 10-feet (3m). This image, which can be displayed in standard 2D or 3D, can be augmented with virtually any form of computer-generated data in the form of text, still images or even video.
Until now, augmented reality has been limited to bulky stationary displays or portable hand-held systems with limited capabilities. Although these solutions implemented AR technology, it was in an unnatural format with obvious technology barriers. The Wrap 920AR is the first consumer product that empowers users to experience AR in a real-world environment – worn like sunglasses and displaying 3D graphics.
Developer Support Vuzix provides an evolving SDK (Software Development Kit) and additional resources designed to aid and assist developers in the implementation of support for Vuzix products in virtual and augmented reality applications.
