How-To Guide

What is LITHO?
LITHO is a wearable controller, complemented by a spatial tracking software and UX toolkit. The controller itself is worn
between your first and second finger, and has a captive trackpad on the underside, an array of motion sensors, and provides
haptic feedback (LRA). The design is such that you can wear it while doing everyday activities (e.g typing, driving, drilling). !
LITHO allows developers to create apps that let you interact with objects in the real world simply by pointing. Example use
cases we have made include AR 3D creation apps that allow you to design buildings in context and to scale. Litho can also
be used without a visual output. For example (with your phone in your back pocket) you can create apps that directly
interact with connected objects such as lights. These interactions can be reinforced further through haptic feedback.!
Charging LITHO
LITHO can be charged using a micro-USB cable, which plugs into the port on the lower rear side of the device. LITHO takes
around 2 hours to fully charge, although it can still be used after shorter periods of charging. LITHO should last around 6-8
hours in good conditions (use of the haptic motor will discharge the battery faster, and battery capacity will be impacted by
temperature and ageing). On standby, LITHO should last up to 2 months."
Wearing LITHO
Slide your LITHO onto the index and middle fingers on your dominant hand. It is important that the micro-USB port is nearest
to where your fingers join the palm of your hand, so that the port is facing towards you. Your thumb on your dominant hand
should easily interact with the touchpad on the underside of your LITHO. !
There are currently two dierent ways of wearing Litho on your hand - using the$Point grip and the$Clutch$grip. Note that
objects are manipulated in slightly dierent ways in each of these grips. If you are$left-handed, these instructions still apply,
but you will need to switch to left-handed mode in whichever app you are using.!
More information about LITHO
To find out more about LITHO, including how to create AR experiences using the LITHO device and SDK, see the

The Point grip is best-suited to
interacting with objects on the floor. It
also provides fine control when
manipulating objects to be closer to
or further away from you.
The Clutch grip is best-suited to
interacting with objects with
intuitive depth control, and
provides finer control when
interacting with the touchpad.
