❓Common Troubleshooting Issues

Standalone Mode

Looking Glass Go has an onboard memory that allows for saving hologram playlists while on the move.

To enter Standalone Mode, plug in the provided USB-C cable and power adapter into a power source, then into your Go.

If the Go is receiving power, you should see the status LED above the power button breathe white.

If so, tap the power button to turn the device on.

Alternatively, you can plug your Go into our Looking Glass Battery Pack (sold separately).

Desktop Mode

Desktop Mode allows you to use your Looking Glass with your Mac, Windows, or Linux computer and use software like Liteforms and Blocks, as well as create your own applications usingour integrations with tools like Blender, Unity, Unreal Engine, WebXR and more.

In order to use Desktop Mode, your computer must be able output a 4K video signal via USB-C. If you do not have USB-C Alt Mode and need to connect your Go using an HDMI cable, we recommend this adapter.
