Connect the Smartglasses to WiFi

To use our smart glasses for SignGlasses sessions, the glasses will need to connect to the WiFi in the location you are using them. This guide will walk you through connecting them.

• Locate the power button on the inner left side of the glasses.

• Press and hold the button for 3 seconds.

• Wait for the green light to appear next to the button.

• Put on the glasses to see the Vuzix loading screen.

If you don’t see this light or the Vuzix screen, plug in the glasses to charge. Then wait a few moments and try this again.

• Swipe forward, to move to the right, to get to the gear icon

  • You will see the "Settings" page preview in the glasses

    • If they are not connected to WiFi, it will say "Off"

    • If the glasses are already connected to the Wifi, you will see the network’s name

If it says "Off":

• Tap to select the gear icon to open the settings

• Locate the [Connectivity] option and tap the touchpad to select it

Now you will see the Wifi icon crossed out and it will say “Off” at the bottom.

• Tap the touchpad to select the [WiFi] icon

• Tap again on the icon that says [Turn On]

• Swipe over to and tap the the [➕Add Network] icon

• Find the the network you wish to connect to and tap it

• Use text keyboard that appears, to enter in your WiFi password.

  • Gently swipe your finger to move to different letters and tapping once to select a letter.

• Click the check ✅ button when you are done

• Select [No] to configuring advanced options

The glasses will automatically connect to the WiFi when you’re in this location from now on! If you have already connected to your desired network on these glasses in the past, simply select [Saved Networks] and connect from there.

To confirm you are connected, you can check your settings page in the glasses. If it shows your WiFi network, you are all set to use the glasses for SignGlasses.

Using two fingers - tap at the same time - and tap 2 -3 times to return to the Home screen.

Continue through our guide on Using the Smartglasses in SignGlasses to see how to connect to a session.

If you need to whitelist devices in order for them to connect to the internet, you will do so using the MAC address for the glasses.

To find the MAC address for the glasses,

• Swipe forward on the touchpad until you see the gear icon again.

• Tap the gear icon to open the Settings page.

• Swipe forward to find [System], then tap to select it.

• Scroll forward and tap [About].

• Tap to select [Device Info]

Here you will see the MAC address for your glasses.

For ease of setup, we recommend downloading the Vuzix View app to your computer. This app lets you control the glasses from your computer, making typing much easier.

Simply plug the glasses into your computer and open the Vuzix View app on your computer.
