How to Optimize Your Smartphone for the Best AR Experience

When using Glassear, your smartphone is responsible for performing all the mathematical and graphical calculations to project augmented reality. Although modern mobiles are incredibly powerful, following these tips will ensure you the smoothest and most stable experience possible.

1. Free Up RAM Memory

Before starting your AR session, it is recommended to close applications that you are not using in the background.

  • Why: Social apps or heavy games consume memory resources that the Glassear app might need to process graphics in real time.
  • Tip: Use your mobile’s task manager to “Close all” before starting.

2. Disable Battery Saver Mode

Battery saving usually limits processor (CPU) power and reduces the screen refresh rate.

  • Why: For smooth AR we need the processor to work at its maximum capacity and without latency.
  • Tip: Make sure your mobile is in “Performance” mode or at least without battery saving activated.

3. Keep Your Device Cool

Intensive AR processing can heat up the smartphone. A very hot mobile will lower its performance to protect itself (thermal throttling).

  • Tip: If you are going to use Glassear for long sessions, try not to charge the mobile at the same time, as charging generates additional heat.

4. Clean the Camera Lens

Glassear uses your smartphone’s camera for environment tracking.

  • Why: A fingerprint smudge on the lens can cause the positioning of AR objects to be imprecise or “jumpy”.
  • Tip: Use a microfiber cloth to clean the rear lens before placing the mobile in the headset.

5. Update Your Software

Make sure you have the latest version of your operating system (iOS or Android) and the Glassear application installed.

  • Benefit: Updates often include graphics driver improvements and consumption optimizations that directly impact the visual quality of AR.

Conclusion

By following these simple steps, you will transform your smartphone into the ultimate AR workstation. Glassear is designed to be efficient, but giving your mobile a little “breathing room” always translates into better graphics and a more instantaneous response.
