Introduction
After playing with the demo, sending some text, trying to modify the images, you might start to get inspired to create your own displayed content.And realize, you don't know where to start as the image you try to send to the glasses isn't displayed. Or are fumbling with "embedded resources" and don't know where the images end up and how to send them to the glasses.Do not despair.In short, the initial difficulties I have encountered (and solved) are:

The resources have to be a particular size, else they will not be displayed
Using the Android bitmap generator does some scaling and it's not very clear how to get fine control on the output size, this
 route will burn a lot of time and energy to try to "find the sweet spot"

If you're comfortable with all the above and go your own route this is the base take-away:
=> The glasses seem to be work best at 490x490 pixels. They handle 640x480 but also 480x640. So scaling is done - it's easier to not rely on Android bitmap scaler or the glasses

How to get started
The easiest way to get started has a few easy steps if you are familiar with Android Studio or building Android applications. 

 If you haven't gone through it before, it might not always be so clear. So this might help you to get through it in a couple of steps and help you get started. 

   

 Install the Vuzix SDK 

 

 Install the Vuzix Connect application 

 Pair the Z100 glasses 

 

 Setup your development environment 

 

 Install Android Studio 

 

 Probably you'll need to put your Android phone into Developer mode 

 And install the USB driver 

 

 

 Download  the sample code 

 Start the sample code with Android Studio
