r/Spectacles

To support a little weekend experiment, I had my Specs pull weather data (wind, cloud coverage, air traffic, HAB flight simulation...) in real time and display it in Normandy's sky from my POV.

I love sim racing and I love building stuff so I decided to get creative and wondered how cool would it be if I can connect to Specs 🕶️

What's better than 80's vibe text based interactive fiction? How about, 2026 inspired, synthwave fueled spatialized Interactive Fiction? We did it. In your Lens today. Choose your own adventure path, among 11 unique stories. This is over 10 + hours of playable contents. An AI pipeline handles the modernized flow, you will see visual content and hear a narrator. It is completely revolutionary. SPEC '24

Since nobody really saw this in the previous release, I've provided a better demo video for the snap team to consume for their marketing, and plug for creative use of the platform. This is , in effect, a retro console VM running natively on the platform, no IP violations, everything is public domain. Did we mention it's open source?

SPECS '27 version coming soon!

#LENSFEST OCT 26 (not SEPT)

This weekend, I put together another ridiculous app that replicates the final moment of glory from the legendary PC game. I didn't even build the whole game, just the final, exhilarating moment of victory.

So I can fire up this app, put the last king on the pile and watch my living room fill up with the beautiful chaos of hundreds (thousands???) of pixel-art playing cards, bouncing off all of my walls, furniture, and any small children or dogs that happen to be nearby.

WorldMesh makes a quick 3D scan of my space so it knows where everything is, and then it uses that virtual map to bring old-school solitaire into 2026.

On another note, this will be my last Spectacles demo for a bit. My work is moving into different spaces and I don't have as much time for weird demos as I used to. But I want to thank the team and community here, it's been so much fun meeting and collaborating with y'all, attending events and learning a ton along the way. Big thanks to u/jbmcculloch u/agrancini-sc and the entire u/spectacles_team for the support—you guys do a fantastic job with this community.

Until next time!

What if you could explore the solar system just with your fingertips? Finger Planets is a playful experiment made by our intern Tina at OHI Studio, exploring more tactile and fun ways to interact with content when using AR glasses. So fun to explore this approach, so more soon!

Would you believe me if I said we taught Spectacles to see through walls? And what if I told you that, on top of that, we learned to control robots behind those walls and see everything they see?

It sounds like pure madness, but we actually did it in our hackathon (alienbazaar.com). You can sit in one room while a robot cleans another, and you can see where it is at all times and get live information about what's happening in that room. Ask the robot where your favorite mug is, and it will highlight it for you somewhere in the house, so you can see it through the walls and find it with ease.

You can literally connect every robot in your home to your Spectacles and create a collective brain that carries out different tasks at your command. Now imagine using this in factories. Or out on the street.

How would you use the collective intelligence of you and your robots?
