Your first steps

The first time you open MiruXR, it asks for a few permissions, waits for your glasses and then teaches you the basic gestures with a short tour you do with the glasses on.

1. Permissions

Section titled "1. Permissions"

MiruXR asks for a few permissions on the A few permissions screen. You can say no to any of them and change your mind later in your phone's settings.

Permission What it is for Phone
Photos Show your videos and photos in the glasses iPhoneAndroid
Location Walking navigation and the local weather iPhoneAndroid
Local network Talk to your glasses. iPhone asks for it when you connect them iPhoneAndroid
Notifications See your phone's notifications in the glasses Android
Glasses over USB Let MiruXR use the glasses (shown when they are plugged in) Android
Android apps in your space Optional one-time setup to open your phone's apps as windows. See Set up Android apps Android

Other permissions, like the calendar or the microphone, are asked only when you first use the feature that needs them.

2. Connect the glasses

Section titled "2. Connect the glasses"

Plug the glasses into your phone. See Connect your glasses.

3. The tour

Section titled "3. The tour"

When the glasses connect for the first time, a hands-on tour starts. It runs on the phone and in the glasses at the same time, and each step waits until you do the gesture:

  1. Open the browser: aim at the Browser card and tap the phone.
  2. Two fingers to scroll: slide two fingers on the phone, like on a laptop trackpad.
  3. The top bar: point all the way up to see back, the address and reload.
  4. The bottom bar: point at the bottom edge to see close, more options, your windows and home.
  5. Close the browser: open the bottom bar and tap the X.

If a step doesn't move on, the phone offers Continue anyway. You can also leave with Skip tour.

4. Guides for each mode

Section titled "4. Guides for each mode"

The first time you enter a mode (Spatial, the HUD or a 360 video), a short guide in the glasses shows what to do there. Small tips also appear the first time you use something, like moving a window, the keyboard or 3D.

See the tour and guides again

Section titled "See the tour and guides again"

On the phone, open Settings (the sliders icon at the top left), then go to Support:

  • Replay the tour: the first tour again.
  • Show the guides again: the intro of each mode and the tips.

The tour starts with a clean screen, so MiruXR asks before closing the windows you have open.
