Hi folks,

I have searched the forums for a good explanation about how these glasses (OpenPeripheral) work. Sadly I have found nothing.

So could you please explain these things to me:
- How they work (pc interaction, putting on glasses, everything)
- How to set up a working system

Thank you all, future answerers of my question.

You place the glasses bridge next to a computer, you right click with some glasses on the bridge to link them. You then put them in your helmet slot to equip them.

The bridge is a peripheral like any other, so you can somply wrap it and call the methods. To see the documentation, run

openp/docs [side] <method>

Without a method name it will list all methods.

You can link multiple glasses to one bridge, so multiple players can wear them at the same time.

There is no way to get the screen size, kinda annoying.

Things I struggled with:
Color parameters are in hexadecimal:

0xFF0000 --red
0xFFFFFF --white
0x666666 --grey

Opacity parameters are inverse transparency: 0 opacity = entirely transparent, 1 opacity = not transparant at all.

I believe that's everything, I hope you can get them working!

I missed that part.
