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".

9. 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.

15. Web Assembly (WASM) support

16. Making Specs more inclusive and usable

    I haven't tried the new version of Specs that was just launched, so I'm not sure if some of these features are already in the pipeline or implemented, but this came up in a discussion after Meta Connect and I wanted to put it out there.

    A major piece of feedback from the community on Specs is that the current inputs aren't very inclusive for people with disabilities. If someone has difficulty holding their hands up or keeping their hands in the camera frame for long, the OS itself doesn't have enough alternatives to make it usable for longer durations.

    I was speaking with Don Allen and he made a really good point like he doesn't have the strength to keep his hands up for long due to nerve damage. There should be native support for interaction beyond the camera frame, so a person can still use their glasses without that constraint. The neural wristband helped him to drag, scroll and select, which was useful, but personally I'm not a big fan of needing to wear extra bands or peripherals for basic input.

    After seeing Meta Connect, voice command felt very right at the operating system level. The OS itself should be navigable by voice - opening apps, moving between screens till you get into an experience - and then you can use hands if needed. Features like calling and phone notifications also feel essential for it to be a daily-use, personal pair of glasses.

    The other thing is that Lenses right now work as isolated apps without background access or parallel processing like widgets. It would help a lot if that was enabled.

    I really want to see Specs succeed because it's one of the only true AR glasses out there, but to stay ahead it needs to be more inclusive. All of this feels like a software upgrade, so I hope to see it soon in the consumer version of Specs as well, which would make a lot more sense on the device.

17. Somebody give Matthew Hallberg a raise !!

    Matthew’s spatial Pokémon card prototype is exactly the kind of work that makes people genuinely excited about Specs. It is playful, instantly understandable, visually impressive and currently going krazyy viral.

    This is more than a cool demo. It shows how familiar physical objects can become portals into interactive spatial experiences. It communicates the potential of Specs better than a lengthy product presentation ever could.

    Please give Matthew a raise he deserves !!!

18. The new SPECS deserves a more modern spatial UI

    I really love the direction Specs is heading in, but I’m not sure whether I like the new UI redesign. The current home UI as seen in the launch feels visually dated. The crowded app grid, inconsistent icon styles and heavy panels make it feel closer to an old mobile launcher than an interface designed specifically for spatial computing 👀🫣

    I just did a quick AI assisted redesign concept which of course can be improved upon but feels much more modern imo.

    This is obviously just a visual concept, not something tested against the actual display limitations, field of view or performance constraints. I’m also not suggesting Specs should simply copy another spatial OS. It deserves its own interaction language and personality.
    The hardware is moving forward quickly. I’d love to see the system UI receive the same level of care.

19. Spectator Mode: Exclude Layers & Capture Button

    Spectator Mode could become a really useful tool with a few tweaks.

    1. I'd love if one or multiple render layers could be set to be 'excluded from Spectator view', just to prevent UI or camera-parented objects showing up

    2. It needs a capture button in the app (making screen recordings is a pain)

20. 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.)
