Field Descriptions

version

The version of HoloPlay Service installed on the machine.

devices

An array of all devices currently connected.

devices[idx].state

The state of the specified device. Can be one of the following states:

  • hidden โ€” the window is not visible.

  • ok โ€” the window exists and is ready to receive content.

  • nocalibration โ€” there's an error reading calibration, please ensure your cables are connected.

devices[idx].windowCoords

Display position of the device as window coordinates. The position is relative to the top left-hand corner of the main monitor.

devices[idx].hardwareVersion

Can be standard, large, pro, or 8k. Standard refers to the 8.9" Looking Glass, large to the 15.6" unit, pro to the 15.6" Pro, and 8K to the Looking Glass 8K.

devices[idx].buttons

Whether or not each of the buttons is currently pressed for the specified device.

devices[idx].calibration

Calibration data for the specified device.

Quilt Settings

A description of quilt view count and tiling. All parameters are optional.

  • vx (int) - number of columns.

    • default value: 1.

  • vy (int) - number of rows.

    • default value: 1.

  • vtotal (int) - total number of views in quilt.

    • default value: vx * vy.

    • only necessary for quilts that have "missing" views in some positions.

  • aspect (float) - original aspect ratio of the quilt.

    • default value: if unspecified, will match aspect ratio of target display (16/10 for the 8.9" Looking Glass, 16/9 for the 15.6" Looking Glass, etc).

  • overscan (bool/int) - scaling setting when on a device with a different aspect ratio than the quilt. It only makes a difference when the quilt aspect is specified and its different than the aspect ratio of the Looking Glass.

    • default value: 0.

    • overscan=1 scales the image until it fills all possible space on the display, cutting out extra part of image.

    • overscan=0 scales the image until its largest side fits the display, leaving black edges on the other sides.

    • overscan has no effect if aspect is either unspecified or equal to the resolution of the target display.

  • invert (bool/int) - inverted view cone setting.

    • default value: 0.

    • invert=1 causes the views to be read in the opposite order as they are encoded in the texture, from the top right to the bottom left.

Error Codes
