Common Troubleshooting Issues
| Issue | Solution |
|---|---|
If your PC is not switching on when connected to the Looking Glass 32" Display | Note that when you setup + switch on the PC, avoid having all peripherals connected at once. Only have the secondary screen connected. Then, after setup, you can connect all the other accessories. This is to prevent the PC from drawing too much power at once. |
If you notice that your demos seem to be running to the left side of the display and there is something wrong with how they look | Reset the Looking Glass display with the on & off with the side power button. |
If you notice that some media in Looking Glass Studio is running at a slower frame rate | This could be for one of two reasons. The first is to ensure that you have Vertical Sync enabled ->
Second, ensure that the graphics card is targeting all the applications that you've installed including the web browser you're using (we recommend Chrome). For a detailed breakdown of how to set this for your PC, follow this guide here. |
If USB-C ports on the back of the 32" PC aren't functioning properly. | Install the latest chipset drivers for the intel compute element. This only applies to the 32" PC purchased from Looking Glass Factory. |
If the Azure Kinect is not switching on | Re-connect all the cables and make sure that the Azure Kinect USB-C cable is connected to a USB 3.0 port (these are usually blue). If that doesn't work, right click the icon after downloading and run Depth Recorder as System Administrator |
