All settings
MiruXR keeps its settings in two places:
- In the glasses, for everything you want to see while you change it: brightness, volume, keyboard, pointer speed and, on Android, VR games. This is where most settings live.
- On the phone, for the few things that belong to the phone: a connected mouse, Android apps, help and the app language.
The tables below list every setting. "Both" means it works on iPhone and Android.

Section titled "Settings in the glasses"To open the settings panel in the glasses, point at the sliders icon and tap. It is on the strip at the top of your view and on the Deck. Tap the icon again, or tap outside the panel, to close it. In a VR game, the VR icon on the strip opens the VR tab directly.
The panel has tabs. Some rows only appear when your glasses or your phone can use them.
