Compatible phone models

Models of mobile phones with which glasses of the corresponding type are initially compatible (see "Intended use").

This parameter is indicated for models originally created for specific smartphones — most often advanced flagship models; These glasses may not be compatible with other gadgets. On the one hand, this limits their application; on the other hand, the design may provide various specific features that are available only through close integration with a specific smartphone.

Also note that the characteristics may indicate compatibility not with a strictly defined model, but with a whole line — for example, iPhone. In such cases, it's ok to clarify which devices from the line are designed for glasses; the easiest way to figure this out is from the data on the maximum diagonal (see above).

Controller

The presence of a controller — an additional control device — is included in the delivery of glasses.

The design and functionality of such an accessory may be different. So, the most popular option is specialized game controllers with a characteristic look — a handle with an analogue lever and buttons. There can be two such handles at once, under both hands; and in some models they are also used to control gestures. The movement of the hands can be tracked both by sensors in the controllers themselves and by cameras on the glasses. There are also simpler solutions — for example, portable gamepads or remote controls for controlling video playback.
