1. Prefab variants

   It would be very helpful to have something like Unity's prefab variants. I have now six nearly identical prefabs, and it's very annoying that I have to make any change I do 6 times.

2. Prefab Renaming Sync

   Renaming a prefab in the Asset Browser does not update the name of newly created instances in the hierarchy. This creates tracking confusion for developers.

3. Enable Advanced Spatial Intelligence: Raw Mesh Access & Semantic Understanding

   Summary:
   Requesting an expansion of the WorldMesh API to allow for programmatic access to raw geometric vertex/index buffers and high-level semantic scene classification.

   Problem:
   While the current WorldMesh and HitTest APIs are excellent for visual occlusion and simple placement, they remain "black boxes" for advanced spatial reasoning. Specifically, we cannot programmatically access the raw vertex data to generate custom pathfinding (NavMesh) or perform geometric analysis (e.g., identifying surfaces for "Cover Finding"). Furthermore, semantic classification is currently limited to specific hit-test results; we need a more holistic way to query the scene's composition.

   Proposed Solution:
   -Raw Mesh Data Access: Provide an API to extract vertex and index buffers from the WorldMesh resource. Ideally, this should be delivered as a stream or via a "chunked" event system to maintain performance as the mesh refines in real-time.

   -Expanded Semantic Scene Graph: Provide a structured API to query the scene’s semantic layout (e.g., a list of all identified "Table," "Floor," or "Wall" objects within the camera frustum or radius) rather than relying solely on individual point-in-space hit tests.

   -Spatial Metadata: Expose geometric properties of these semantic objects (bounding volumes, orientation, and surface normals) to allow for sophisticated tactical AI, such as identifying valid cover positions or navigable space for agents.

   Impact:
   This would enable the next generation of "Spatial AI" experiences on Spectacles. Developers would be able to build intelligent agents that treat the user's home as a truly interactive, persistent, and "aware" environment, moving beyond simple overlays to meaningful mixed-reality game mechanics like tactical stealth and pathfinding-based navigation.

5. Full Computer

   Glasses should not be inherently a 2nd citizen. We should be able to use it and develop for it freely, like any personal computer. So I suggest:

   • Spectacles app should be optional: anything the app can do, the glasses should be able to do it without the app (connect to wifi, etc...).

   • We should be able to use the glasses without any account, like an Android phone does not require a Google account or a mac/windows can only have local account just for security purpose. Accessing the snap store would be like Android, you need an account. But there should be ways to also sideload apps, even if it's more developer focused.

   • We should be able to access files, as it is an Android devices. (at least as a developer with adb)

   • I also know why everything is focused on Lens Studio to develop, but we should also be able to choose another way, even if features are not already there. For example, even on Apple Vision Pro that have a really closed ecosystem, we can still use Unity/Godot in addition to native swift. Supporting WebXR is already a very good thing, so thank you for that.

     • What would be also very awesome, is to support WebXR app as native ones (without all the unecessary things from the browser as it overheat very fast). Personaly, I would say that it is even better than supporting OpenXR.

6. QR/Snapcode open url

   We should have something at the OS level triggerable in some way.

   Could be even better with an API callable from a lens.

   It could be also awesome to directly enter WebXR experiments.

8. Copied prefab retains it old name when you drag in on the scene

   I have a prefab called "BoeingPrefab". It contains a model of a Boeing 737 and a script and some other stuff. I want to make a similar prefab, but then with a different airplane, a Cessna 172. So I copy the prefab (prefab variants like in Unity do not seem to exist, at least according to the Lens Studio AI). I rename the copied prefab to "CessnaPrefab", and replace the airplane model in it. Now whatever I do, where ever I rename "BoeingPrefab" to "CessnaPrefab", as soon as I drag it into the scene it is called BoeingPrefab again in the scene. The only way I have been able to kick Lens Studio into doing what I want (and expect), is opening the CessnaPrefab.prefab file in a text editor, look for the text "BoeingPrefab" and change it into "CessnaPrefab".

11. Improved Media Export

    Improved Media Export

    Currently getting captures off Spectacles is quite an annoying task. Frequently now when transferring the captures to the mobile app a very small amount actually succeeds in transferring, and when they do the transfer speed is slow, especially when transferring a large amount. It would be great to have some option to transfer over cable, potentially from within LS.

12. Let Specs function as a monitor and allow for wired screen mirroring.

    Looks like a lot of AR glasses competitors are seeing a lot of success marketing their products as “big digital screens” so people can plug in their gaming consoles or really just mirror any kind of screen to the glasses.

    It would be good for Specs to allow for that as well, straight out of the box.

13. Audio Output Support for Spectacles via BLE

    Afaik Spectacles doesn’t support streaming audio to external speakers even if there’s Bluetooth support on board. Is this something really not there ? or planned for future releases ? Would really appreciate the native ability to connect external speakers as this would enable a wide range of musical applications where I can control and make music in Lens and play it out loud.

14. Enable system level left hand mode

    Just a quick suggestion -- In a future OS update it would be nice to have a left handed mode. It would place the scrollbars on frames on the left side instead of the right side--and maybe swap hands for the palm interface, too. As a lefty, using the scroll views with my right hand is kind of annoying. Preferably it would be some OS-level change that would also automatically apply to lenses that use the scrollview.

16. Guide SceneObjects

    Sometimes I use guide geometry to help with the layout of a scene, especially useful when building for real-life locations.

    It would be great if Lens Studio had the option to right-click a SceneObject and "Enable Guide", giving that object a little icon and making sure it is excluded when publishing. No assets on that SceneObject would count towards lens size, and they would be treated as if they were deleted if they were accidentally referenced by code.
    This would make it easier to have assets in a project purely for reference!

    (Inspired by After Effects' Guide layers which are not rendered.)

17. System keyboard replacement for HID devices

    I build Scriber, a one-handed BLE chording controller with a companion virtual keyboard (ScriberEditor, open source: github.com/Altomand/ScriberEditor). Three related asks for SPECS system input:

    1. System-level BLE HID keyboards — pair once, type into any Lens or text field.

    2. Custom input methods — let developers register their own virtual keyboard as a replacement for the system keyboard on text fields (like Android/iOS third-party keyboards). When a physical input device is connected, the system on-screen keyboard shouldn't pop up.

    3. Tighter integration with the native Browser app — ability to pass field metadata (content type, current text) so a custom keyboard can adapt dynamically — different buttons or placement depending on the field, e.g. some keys changing to specific shortcuts when something is clicked. I'm happy to publish Scriber's virtual keyboard and accompanying code as an Asset Library package so the team has a concrete reference to integrate and test against.

    Context: raised in an r/Spectacles thread with nick-ross (https://www.reddit.com/r/Spectacles/comments/1vfekba/will_the_ble_api_come_out_of_experimental_status/). I'll be at the SPECS launch event and developer session on September 16–17 and can bring a Scriber unit for the product team to test, if that would help.

18. Endurance Mode

    I loved the (experimental) Endurance Mode that was on the 2021 device, it would be great to bring that back in some way!

    GPS locations could trigger a sleep or wake command on the device.
    This would be a great power saver for outdoors treasure hunt experiences or guided tours!

19. CLAD confused with @wearable

    CLAD gets confused with @wearable in API docs, one of the lenses I tried I wanted to add content to the ceiling. CLAD wanted to use world query but said I can’t test this in editor since it is marked as @wearable and therefore only works on SPECS. Instead it wrote an editor fallback, even though this does work in the editor.

20. CLAD head-fixed

    CLAD a few times created head-fixed content, such as in game content and HUDs. HUD I can slightly understand, but even then there was no LERP applied, so it has that jitter look on device. No real reason for the game content to be headlocked, though.
