In the title window, you can pinch and drag the floating puzzle piece to spin it or stop its rotation. Pinch and drag with both hands to scale the puzzle piece. Select New Puzzle to go to the puzzle options window.
In the puzzle options window, select Choose an image to open your Photo Library, or Paste an image to paste a copied image. Real Puzzler accesses your photo library only to generate a texture for the puzzle from the photo you choose. No data is collected by Real Puzzler.
With a photo selected, all the puzzle options are enabled.
A default layout is chosen based on the photo’s dimensions. You can customize this by changing the Layout option. The choices are Tall (portrait), Wide (landscape), and Square.
Use pinch and drag gestures with both hands to move and scale the photo within the frame.
Choose Reset image if you want to reset the photo to its default layout, position, and scale within the frame.
Choose New image if you want to reset the Image Settings and paste a new image.
Choose the Number of pieces for the puzzle. You can create puzzles of 100, 250, 500, or 1000 pieces. The size of the puzzle pieces decreases as the number of pieces increases.
Note that only 200 pieces are in play at a time for 500 and 1,000 piece puzzles. Real Puzzler first drops all the edge and corner pieces, then drops interior pieces in clusters to ensure that the pieces in play connect to each other. As each piece is successfully placed, another piece is dropped into play, until all puzzle pieces are available.
Once you’ve set your puzzle options, choose Create puzzle, to begin puzzling. Real Puzzler takes a few seconds to prepare the puzzle.
Real Puzzler presents a volumetric window with a board, puzzle pieces, and an options pane that contains an image of the current puzzle. You can move this volumetric window anywhere with the drag bar. The volume is low profile, so you can run other applications such as streaming movies while you puzzle.
Choose the gear icon at the center-rear of the puzzle board to open the puzzle options pane.
To place a puzzle piece, pinch and drag to move and rotate the piece. Release it in the puzzle area. The piece is placed (denoted by a small firework effect and audible chime) if it's within the Position precision and Rotation precision ranges. The puzzle pieces support dynamic physics, You can toss them across the board.
Once a puzzle piece is placed, it is out of play and can’t be selected or moved.
In the options pane, you can adjust the Position precision slider to make placement more challenging (move the slider right) or less challenging (move the slider left).
The position precision range varies depending on puzzle size.
100 Pieces: 110 mm - 1 mm
250 Pieces: 150 mm - 1 mm
500 Pieces: 200 mm - 1 mm
1000 Pieces: 250 mm - 1 mm
The Rotation precision slider sets how closely the rotation of the puzzle piece must match its placement rotation. Move the slider all the way to the right and the rotation of the piece must be within 5 degrees of its placement rotation. Move the slider all the way to the left and any rotation will suffice for placement.
The Visual FX toggle enables the firework that appears when a piece is placed in the puzzle area.
The Audio FX toggle enables the chime that sounds when a piece is placed in the puzzle area.
Choose Customize board to customize the appearance of the puzzle board with the surface options that appear in a new window. There are various wood, stone, and metal surfaces available that can make puzzles more or less challenging and personalize the board's appearance.
Choose Drop pieces to collect the pieces that are in play and drop them again. This is useful for situations when a puzzle piece seems to be missing. On rare occasions, a puzzle piece might get stuck between placed pieces and the puzzle board.
Choose New Puzzle to return to the puzzle options window. This clears the current puzzle and all progress is lost.
Choose Close (X) in the upper right to collapse the options pane. When collapsed, a gear icon appears at the center rear of the puzzle board. Choose the gear icon to restore the options pane.
Progress of the current puzzle is maintained between sessions, even after the headset is restarted.
