## Frequently Asked Questions

### Can I install OpenClaw directly on Meta glasses?

No, OpenClaw does not run directly on the glasses. It works through a phone app (like VisionClaw) which connects the glasses, AI, and backend together.

### Can I use OpenClaw on both Android and iPhone?

Yes, VisionClaw supports both Android and iPhone. However, setup may be slightly easier and more stable on some devices depending on SDK support.

### Is coding required to set this up?

Basic setup may require installing the app using Xcode or Android Studio. However, using a hosted OpenClaw (like Ampere) removes most technical complexity.

### Does this work in real-time?

Yes, but with some limits. Video is processed at a low frame rate (~1 FPS), which is good for static scenes but not fast movement.

### Is this setup safe to use?

It depends on your configuration. Since OpenClaw can access apps and data, always use secure API keys, tokens, and trusted environments.
