Use Vuzix smart glasses

Turn on Vuzix smart glasses, open the SignGlasses app, and pair them to your session from a browser or the mobile app.

The glasses show your interpreter or your captions while you are in a session. You join the session in your browser or the mobile app, then pair the glasses to it.

Turn on the glasses

  1. Find the power button on the inner left side of the glasses.
  2. Press and hold it for 3 seconds. A green light appears next to the button.
  3. Put on the glasses. The Vuzix loading screen appears.

If you do not see the light or the loading screen, charge the glasses, wait a few moments, and try again.

Check the Wi-Fi

Swipe forward on the touchpad until you reach the gear icon. The Settings preview shows the name of the Wi-Fi network the glasses are connected to.

If the preview says Off, the glasses are not on Wi-Fi. Connect them before you continue. See Connect smart glasses to Wi-Fi.

Open the SignGlasses app on the glasses

  1. Tap the touchpad quickly 3 times to return to the home screen.
  2. Swipe forward to the SignGlasses app and tap the touchpad to open it.

The app shows “Scan a QR Code”. If “Connecting to Wi-Fi…” stays at the bottom of the screen, the glasses are not online. See Connect smart glasses to Wi-Fi.

Pair the glasses to your session

In a browser:

  1. Join your session.
  2. Select Settings at the bottom right, then select Glasses.
  3. Select Connect to this meeting. A QR code appears.
  4. Look at the QR code through the glasses.
The Glasses panel in a session after Connect to this meeting: a note to scan the QR code with the SignGlasses app on your glasses, and the QR code.

In the mobile app:

  1. Join your session.
  2. Select the glasses icon at the bottom of the screen. A QR code appears.
  3. Look at the QR code through the glasses.

Your interpreter or captions appear in the glasses. Each session has its own QR code, so scan a new one every time you join a session.

To choose which interpreter appears, or to see the captions instead, see Adjust what you see in your smart glasses.

Turn off the glasses

Hold the power button for 2 seconds, then select Power off with the touchpad. Turning the glasses off saves battery and helps prevent overheating.
