Choose your device
WorkWise works with a variety of capture devices—so you can start with whatever you have. Each option has its own strengths, but the most important thing is to pick one and begin capturing. You’ll start seeing value right away, and you can always switch or upgrade later.

Device Examples |
Key Considerations |
Tips / Workarounds |
|
Phone / Tablet |
iPhone, Samsung Galaxy, Pixel |
✔️ Most accessible option—use what you already have ✔️ Flexibility of front and back cameras ✔️ Compatible with inexpensive tripod or clip for hands-free filming encouraging 💭 Harder to capture a true POV (first-person) perspective 💭 Movement can make footage shaky or hard to follow |
✨ Limit movement or use a tripod for stability ✨ Have your SME wear Bluetooth earbuds for clearer audio ✨ You can also record voiceover later in WorkWise |
|
Desktop / Laptop (Screen Recording only) |
--- |
✔️ Record directly within WorkWise—no extra software needed ✔️ Capture browser tabs, windows, or your full screen ✔️ Option to include voiceover 💭 Limited to computer-based processes (no physical POV) 💭 Requires browser microphone permissions to record voice |
✨ Use the timer to give yourself setup time before capture starts ✨ Test your microphone or select “No microphone” if recording silent visuals only |
|
XR Headset |
Apple Vision Pro (AVP), Meta Quest 3 |
✔️ Most polished, high-quality footage ✔️ Strivr WorkWise capture app available for select headsets (AVP, Meta Quest) 💭 Bulky to wear; takes time to get comfortable 💭 Passthrough may distort fine text or details 💭 Requires initial setup and user calibration (AVP only) |
✨ Use “Guest Mode” (e.g., on Apple Vision Pro) to avoid recalibrating each time ✨ Build in setup time for first-time users to get acclimated |
|
Smart Glasses |
Meta Ray-Ban, Meta Oakley, Vive Eagle, Snap Spectacles |
✔️ Lightweight and simple—just put them on ✔️ Pairs easily with phone apps (e.g., Meta AI) 💭 Short recording durations (often ~3 minutes max) 💭 May not fit comfortably for those who wear glasses 💭 Vertical (3:4) aspect ratio may limit framing |
✨ Recharge glasses between clips—the case holds several charges ✨ Consider prescription lenses if needed for comfort |
|
Wearable Action Camera |
GoPro, Insta360, DJI Action |
✔️ Hands-free POV perspective ✔️ Reliable for longer continuous recording ✔️ Adjustable mounts for different angles 💭 Wide “fisheye” look typical for action cameras 💭 Takes a few tries to find the right angle |
✨ Pair with a companion app (e.g., GoPro Quik) to preview framing ✨ Do a short dry run and adjust the mount before your real capture |
