### Hardware

First, please follow the **Hardware Setup Guide** that came with your Looking Glass. If it can't be found, download a copy here:

Looking Glass 8k Hardware Setup Guide
{% endfile %}

### Software

Download and install [**Looking Glass Bridge**](https://lookingglassfactory.com/software) to start working with holograms. 

### Leap Motion Setup

Some applications are controllable via the Leap Motion hand tracking hardware (included). To use these features, please [download and install](https://developer.leapmotion.com/gemini-v5-preview) the V5 (Gemini) version of the Desktop SDK.

### Test your Setup

This simple test can be run to ensure that hardware is connected, and software is installed and configured:

{% embed url="<https://codesandbox.io/embed/hardcore-butterfly-l5o9d?fontsize=14&hidenavigation=1&theme=dark&view=preview>" %}

When the above button is pressed, the Looking Glass should show a 3D image like below. To close this image, move your mouse over and click anywhere on the image. The image should appear 3D. If it appears with diagonal lines (as on the right), there is an error. Please retry the setup steps above to ensure it is properly configured. If that doesn't fix it, try troubleshooting. Once the setup is complete, go back to the User Guide welcome page to begin working with the Looking Glass.&#x20;
