RealWear’s My Files application is the platform for hands-free file navigation, providing robust access to and management of documents, photos & media files stored both locally on a RealWear device or an external drive
Out of the box, users can access My Media, My Documents, My Photos and, starting in Release 11.1, users will now have the ability to browse Microsoft OneDrive files, hardware mounted storage drives like an SD card or USB drive and the full local file system of a RealWear device.
Note: The below pieces of the file system hierarchy are only available in Releases 11.1 and later:
My Files can be launched from the Home Screen or via My Programs. Once My Files is open, users are presented with five options at the top level of the file system. Any of these can be opened by saying their name.
While on the top level screen of My Files, there are two unique options users have which aren’t available on any other screen:
2. The ability to open a bookmarked file via a QR code for easy access by saying “MORE OPTIONS” then “SCAN BOOKMARK”. These bookmarks can be configured using RealWear’s Cloud Bookmark Tool.
There are also a number of voice commands that are persistent while browsing the entire file system which are called out in the table below and then explained in more detail.
Voice Command | Action |
“BACK ONE LEVEL” | Navigates to the previous folder in the folder tree. |
“SHOW HELP” | Displays extra commands. |
“MORE OPTIONS” | Displays contextual options for each view. |
“SORT FILES” | Enables the ability to sort files. Files can be sorted by name, date or tags (when photo tagging has been configured) |
“EDIT MODE” | Used to delete files either individually or in bulk. |
Any single place in the file system will contain a list of folders and files. Browse files by looking left or right, then select using the “SELECT ITEM #” or the file name to open the file. In the example below, to open the second image showing the LNG storage tank, we would say “SELECT ITEM 2” or “LNG STORAGE TANK”.
Files can be sorted by name or date and filtered by tags (when photo tagging (link to photo tagging page) has been configured). In views with both folders and files, folders will always be shown first regardless of sorting. Voice commands to sort folders and files including details of sorting are outlined in the below table. To access sorting options say:
Voice Command | Action |
“BY NAME” | Sorting folders and files by name will display them in A-Z order |
“BY DATE” | Sorting folders and files by date will display them in order of most recent to least recent |
You can delete the files from all pieces of the file system except for OneDrive which can only be viewed and sorted.
