Your Spectacles can be adjusted to better suit your IPD which should make your experience clearer and more comfortable.

Auto Sleep: When not worn for 10 seconds your Spectacles will go into sleep mode. Sleep mode turns the cameras off to conserve power. You can adjust the time your Spectacles are unworn before going to sleep to any of: instant, 5s, 10s (default), 30s, 1m or disabled (meaning you will need to turn your Spectacles off manually when not in use).
