When the above button is pressed, your Looking Glass 16" should show a 3D image of the Looking Glass Logo. To close this image, move your mouse over and click anywhere on the image.
If it appears with diagonal lines, there is an error loading the calibration data. Please retry the setup steps above to ensure it is properly configured, double check that all cables are plugged in and that your monitor settings are correct.
If diagonal lines stretch across the image, there is an error loading the calibration data. Please retry the setup steps above to ensure it is properly configured and double check that all cables are plugged in and that your monitor settings are correct.
If you notice that some media in HoloPlay Studio is running at a slower frame rate
Ensure that the graphics card is targeting all the applications that you've installed including the web browser you're using (we recommend Chrome).

If you are running the quilts off of HoloPlay Studio, ensure that HoloPlay Studio is using the external GPU and not the integrated processor.
