Screenshots currently show the English interface; localized screenshots will replace them later.

Quick start

From install to your first answer.

The phone is the bridge between OpenClaw and the glasses. Complete setup on Android first; the HUD depends on the phone connection.

Sign in

Open Settings → Account and sign in with the ClawLensXR membership that provides your download access.

Connect OpenClaw

Scan a trusted Gateway QR/setup code, or enter its private TLS host and port. Approve the new device when requested.

Connect Rokid

Choose Hi Rokid or Direct, authorize when requested, scan for the glasses, then connect them.

Install the HUD

Open Settings → Updates and install or update the bundled glasses app. Keep both devices awake during transfer.

Start a session

Choose a session, agent and model, then type, speak or attach a selected photo and follow the streamed reply.

Connection security: ClawLensXR requires a secure wss:// Gateway endpoint. A private Tailscale route can provide reachability; no Funnel or public Gateway exposure is required.

Know where to look

Phone settings and HUD controls are different.

Android phone app

Configure and manage.

The phone owns account access, Gateway and Rokid connections, language, voice providers, captions, notifications, software updates and recovery.

  • Enter credentials only on the phone
  • Install/update the glasses companion
  • Manage all advanced settings and troubleshooting
Rokid glasses HUD

Read and act in the moment.

The HUD shows the active conversation and exposes fast touchpad controls for photos, catalogs, layout, speech and active runs.

  • Read streaming responses
  • Switch agent, session and model
  • Control photos, Talk Mode, captions and voice output

Android companion

Your connection, conversation and control center.

  • VideoVoice commands start and stop native glasses recording. Clips are limited to 60 seconds, remain in glasses storage and are viewed in Hi Rokid; ClawLensXR does not upload or analyze them.
  • Talk ModeTap the prominent control to enable hands-free follow-up or always-listening behavior. It shares microphone ownership with captions and recording.

Rokid glasses HUD

Fast controls without taking out the phone.

This diagram follows the current six-item HUD menu. The phone remains responsible for credentials, provider setup and software management.

Illustration of the ClawLensXR heads-up display
Your OpenClaw assistant, always in view.
  • PhotoCapture and stage a photo. Up to four can be attached; Send/Clear appear in the input staging area. You can also capture photos hands-free with a voice command through the glasses.

  • SizeCycle the HUD position through Full, Bottom and Top.

Double tapCancel/close a menu. From normal chat, opens the exit confirmation.
Long press / AI keyStart voice input or activate/interrupt Talk Mode behavior.

Voice camera commands

Say the action clearly.

Command availability follows the active speech path and language. Photo commands can send visual context; video remains local to the glasses.

“Take a photo”

Capture and stage a photo for the next message.

“Take and send a photo”

Capture and send immediately to the active session.

“Read this” / “Translate this” / “Identify this”

Capture a selected photo and ask the active assistant for the requested visual task.

“Start video recording” / “Stop video recording”

Control native glasses recording. Clips stay in glasses storage and can be checked in Hi Rokid.

Troubleshooting

Recover safely before resetting anything.

Gateway will not connect

Check the private route, TLS certificate, wss:// host/port and Tailscale status. Approve the pending ClawLensXR device in the Gateway.

Glasses are paired but asleep

Keep the Bluetooth bond. Use Wake glasses now or the recovery prompt; if instructed, press the glasses button three times until the blue LED advertises again.

Voice does not start

Confirm microphone permission and recognition language. Stop competing caption, Talk Mode, dictation, video or TTS activity, then retry.

Spoken replies are silent

Check provider/key/voice on the phone and ensure Voice is enabled in the HUD More menu. Use Replay only when the latest response is available.

Photo does not arrive

Wait for capture completion, keep fewer than four staged photos, confirm the active session and reauthorize Hi Rokid media access if requested.

Video seems missing

Check Hi Rokid and the glasses’ native media store. ClawLensXR does not import or upload video, so it will not appear as a chat attachment.

Before sharing a support screenshot

Blur Gateway hosts, account details, session/agent names, chat messages, device identifiers and any credential field—even if a key looks masked.
