UI Guidelines

Reading this page, in addition to exploring our samples, will give you initial knowledge of Raptor UI development

See Through

Everything in Black will look transparent on the glasses

Remember: it is a see-through device. Don't overload your application UI

Gestures

Gestures are discrete and only a few of them exist - use them wisely

Available Gestures: Forward, backward, down, tap

Other gestures are reserved for Everysight OS (i.e. long press)

Performance

Your application performance is a key for success. Make your app efficient, taking Raptor's Hardware spec into consideration

For example, animations consume battery, use them in a targeted and concise manner

Layout design

  • Landscape only
  • Design for 640x440 (width x height) - for non-full screen activities
  • Everysight OS will set your set view to the right location and size according to the user’s screen adjustments
  • Best to use for your main layout:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<FrameLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
             android:layout_width="match_parent"
             android:layout_height="match_parent"
             android:orientation="vertical"
             android:background="@android:color/black">

</FrameLayout>
