Entering Standalone Mode
To enter Standalone Mode, ensure that your Looking Glass Go is connected to a power source via USB-C either using the included power adapter or to a computer with USB-C Alt Mode.
USB-A to USB-C cables will not work with the Looking Glass Go. You should use the included USB-C Cable that comes with the Go.
Once you've checked to confirm your USB-C cable is properly connected on both ends, take a look at the status LED on the side of the Looking Glass. If it's connected to power properly you should see the LED breathing white. If this is the case, awesome! Tap the power button on the Looking Glass and you should see the device boot up into Standalone Mode and display your holograms.
If the Looking Glass boots up but doesn't show any holograms, check the status LED to see if it's running in Standalone Mode properly. Once it's booted up the LED should be solid white.
Entering Desktop Mode
To enter Desktop Mode connect the included USB-C Cables to your computer's USB-C Port. If your computer does support USB-C Alt Mode, you will need to utilize a HDMI ↔ USB-C Adapter.
Once you are connected, download the latest version of Looking Glass Bridge.
To ensure that your Looking Glass and related software are working properly, try the web test below.
If successful, your display should show a test image of the Looking Glass logo on your Go. To close this image, move your mouse over and click anywhere on the image. The image should appear 3D.
If the image doesn't appear, or you get an error, ensure that the latest version of Looking Glass Bridge is installed and that your USB-C cable is properly plugged in.
