# Creating A Device Profile

The Vuzix Shield has a unique configuration for visual display. We need to create a new Device Profile to understand and visualize those screen limitations, while designing new User Interface and User experience.

First, we need to acquire [Device Profile](http://files.vuzix.com/Content/Upload/vuzix-blade_v2.xml).

Later, open AVD under the Tools menu and choose to "Create Virtual Device."

Choose the Import Hardware Profiles. Select the previously downloaded file and click OK.

Search for Vuzix and see if the new Device "Vuzix Blade 2" is added under the Phone Tab.

**Congratulations! You now have the Vuzix device on your Hardware Profile.**

Close the dialog and go back to Android Studio.

You can now use the new Hardware profile in your Layout/Interface Designer to have the proper dimension of the UI real estate.
