Today's update brings two new features, introducing a new Home Screen Configurator and Kiosk Mode (PRO Feature).

These features are currently available on all Navigator™ 500 using version 1.3 and will shortly be available on the the HMT-1 and HMT-1z1

The Home Screen configurator makes it easy to customize your home screen to match your preferences. You can choose to rearrange apps on the device home screen or add your own range of custom apps for easy access.

Kiosk Mode (PRO Feature) is a great way to use RealWear device if you want your users to only use a specific app. Kiosk Mode operates in two different ways.

1. Always launch the same app on startup but still have the full functionality of the device

2. Lock the device to use only one app. Meaning you can't navigate away from it.

See our latest Knowledge Base Articles below for more information

Kiosk Mode

We hope you enjoy these new features! If you have any questions or feedback, please let us know.

We're excited to announce that we've just released v1.3 firmware for the Navigator™ 500! This update brings with it a number of new features and improvements, including Kiosk Mode, bug fixes, and security patches as well as a new aspect ratio for My Camera and the introduction of three new supported languages - Danish, Norwegian and Turkish.

Kiosk mode is great for users of RealWear devices that want a cut down simple interface that is locked to a single application, allowing focus. It is also great for operational management to lock devices into that mode if they wish. Kiosk Mode is available to all PRO workspaces.

We've also included a number of bug fixes and security patches in this update. We're always working to make our products as secure and stable as possible, and we're grateful for your feedback in helping us identify areas for improvement.

If you have a Navigator™ 500, we encourage you to update to the latest firmware to take advantage of these new features and improvements. As always, if you have any questions or feedback, don't hesitate to reach out to us. We're here to help!
