MONADO-GUI(1)

✨ NAME ✨

monado-gui — the GUI tool for configuring and testing Monado, bestie 💖

---

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

monado-gui

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

Okay so monado-gui is literally your little bestie for configuring, testing, and debugging Monado on a system. It's giving "one window, endless possibilities." 💅

It takes no arguments — zero, none, nada — and it just spawns a main menu window with a bunch of buttons. Some of those buttons may spawn sub-windows. Heads up though: those sub-windows might be overlapping at first 🙈, so you're gonna have to move them around to reveal them all clearly. It's a whole vibe.

🌸 Calibrate

Choosing "Calibrate" from the main menu will walk you through selecting a camera device and choosing your calibration details. So sweet of it, honestly.

But real talk: you will need a calibration test target in a "checkerboard" or "asymmetric dots" pattern — see the OpenCV documentation for more info on those — printed very precisely in high contrast on a rigid surface. Like, don't just print it on floppy paper and hope, bestie. That is NOT the move. 😭

💜 Debug Test

Choosing "Debug Test" from the main menu will probe and start all devices, showing you debug information on many of them. So nosy, so iconic. 👑

The debug views and controls available vary based on what devices you actually have. So your mileage may literally vary. ✨

---

🔥 NOTES 🔥

The GUI you can get through "Debug Test" may also be available while you're running an OpenXR-based application using Monado — all you gotta do is set the environment variable OXR_DEBUG_GUI to ON. No cap. 🫶

---

💀 EXIT STATUS 💀

The monado-gui utility exits 0 on success, and >0 if an error occurs. That's it, that's the whole system. 🌈
