The WRAP 1200DXAR is a digital video eyewear product designed for use in
augmented reality (AR) applications. It provides a video display, video capture,
audio, head tracking, plus HMDI® and USB interfaces to a Windows computer for
processing and providing AR content.
Realistic augmented reality requires a capture and delivery system that provides the
user with view of the real world as well as video capture for recognition of markers
or other targeting and positioning indicators. The video capture must them be
processed and augmented with the computer generated content or data and
presented to the user. The Wrap 1200DXAR is that capture and delivery system,
allowing you to use virtually any of the leading AR authoring software to process
and populate your AR content.
The WRAP 1200DXAR is intended for use with a Windows based personal
computer, though many of its components are compatible with other PC operating
systems and other video sources providing an HDMI video out port.
2D/3D Display
The display module provides widescreen 16:9 video on a 75-inch virtual display*
system. Standard 2D and multiple formats of 3D video are supported. The Wrap
display system is worn like a pair of sunglasses with it multiple adjustments enabling
personal display and comfort adjustment.

Controller
The Wrap 1200DXAR Controller contains a rechargeable battery to enable video
viewing using a wide assortment of HDMI-compliant devices and a USB port
enables battery charging as well as continuous use when connected to a 0.5A USB
power, like those found on most modern desktop and laptop computers.
A High-Definition Multimedia Interface enables an audio/video connection to
virtually any HDMI-compliant source device.
Stereo USB Camera
The most visually striking feature of the Wrap 1200DXAR is its stereo camera pair
mounted on the face of the eyewear. This stereo camera system enables 3D video
capture of the user’s real-world view.
The stereo cameras capture video at up to 60 frames per second in 640 x 480
resolution and are recognized by your computer as two independent USB webcams.
No special or proprietary APIs are required to access and process what they capture.
The cameras connect to a Windows based computer through a dedicated USB 2.0
connection.
Head Tracker
The Wrap Tracker, is a 3-DoF (Degrees of Freedom) motion tracker that places you
in the middle of the action. It plugs into a small port on back of the eyewear’s
display module and communicates head position and movement to the computer
through the Controller’s USB 2.0 connection.
Tracker use required explicit support in applications or support via a VR Manager
Extension. VR Manager is a Windows compatible software application that enables
tracker calibration and provides Extensions that enable 3D video and/or head
tracker support to a wide variety of games, simulators and other applications.
Removable Earphones
Removable noise-isolating earphones provide high quality audio. The eyewear
system can be used with or without the earphones, enabling the use of alternate
audio systems.
Vuzix provides an
AR/VR SDK for
Windows that
demonstrates 3D video
and head tracker support.
The SDK is available for
free download from the
Vuzix website.
