CLAD appearing to be crashed
Frequently when using CLAD LS would appear to be crashed, I would get the spinning wheel on mac, but it hadn’t actually crashed, it was just doing something in the background. Some indication that CLAD / LEAF is currently interacting with the editor would be fantastic.

Support for Precision Stylus Input
Requesting native support for high-precision stylus devices—such as the Logitech MX Ink or Muse—to be integrated with Snap Spectacles.
Current interaction methods (hand tracking and gaze) are excellent for navigation but lack the precision required for professional spatial design, technical drawing, and complex 3D manipulation. Integrating a dedicated stylus would transform Spectacles into a robust tool for creative and technical workflows.1 vote0 comments · Snap OS / System UI: (Voice commands, hand tracking, Lens Explorer, notifications, connectivity) · Admin → -
Standardized Input Layouts (Game Controller/D-Pad) in Spectacles Companion App
I am requesting that the Spectacles companion app be updated to include a library of standardized, system-level input layouts—specifically a "Game Controller" mode (D-Pad and buttons) and other common templates.
Rationale:
Currently, developers are forced to choose between building entire native companion apps (which is high-friction for users and developers) or relying on limited, non-standard touch inputs. By providing these as built-in UI templates in the official Spectacles companion app, Snap would allow creators to build high-quality gaming and utility experiences without requiring users to download third-party companion apps.Benefit:
This would provide a consistent, high-quality user experience across all…1 vote -
I think Specs developers should do another video showing off some mainstream like software features
Hear me out! I think thw Specs developers should do another video showing off some mainstream like software features, that non gaming user could get on board with since this will be a more closed off ecosystem.
I will give a few examples that could all fit into one software demonstration video:
*YouTube - either show an app for YouTube or a browser with YouTube running. A dedicated app would be better here for more spacial computing window controls.
*Netflix/All mainstream Streaming services- show a dedicated app for each of the mainstream streaming app services. A browser version would work…

Joost van Schaik
Preprocessor directives, like the #ifdef in C#. This would enable quick changes between configurations and would be very useful if you write code that can be used both for SnapChat AND Spectacles, not to mention a future with multiple (generations of devices).

UI development on Spectacles: friction points and feature requests
UI remains one of the most time-consuming parts of the Spectacles AR development workflow, and I suspect we're all hitting the same walls in parallel and coming up with bespoke solutions for our respective use cases.
I'd like to use this thread to surface those friction points collectively so we can hand the Spectacles team focused, granular feedback.
To get the conversation started, the recurring gap I keep running into is the absence of a spatial equivalent of HTML and CSS, which is to say no declarative layout, no constraint solver, and limited runtime introspection.
Coding agents help with the…

Microphone not working on Spectacles with RemoteServiceGateway & ASR Module
I am unable to get my lens to detect any microphone recording even though it works perfectly on Lens Studio.
What I did:
-Create a new project with Spectacles base template
-Import remote service gateway
-Use example for any AI service
-Test on Lens Studio to ensure it work
-Push to Spectacles to test again to find it not working
-Create a ASRExample script from https://developers.snap.com/spectacles/about-spectacles-features/apis/asr-module
-Test ASR on Spectacles and find it not working even though it works on Lens Studio
-To ensure my microphone is not damage, I also tried the Imagine together lens and is able to…

Video Capture mode
It could be great to have a raw capture mode with the screen "off". Even if it's a use case that we see more on other pair of glasses without screen, it could also be great to have an easy way to record video without the screen on with nothing displayed that dont enable to see in dark (laser tag for example). We also need to ensure that the power button click re-enable the screen normaly.

Webview custom js/css
Enable injecting custom javascript/css.
Also allow for direct communication between the lens and the webview

Networking: Socket TCP/UDP
Enable Raw socket TCP/UDP.
This way we can also host directly a web server or even a websocket server directly on the specs.
Or send/receive broadcast messages with UDP.

Webview + Spectacles feature requests
Access to WebView audio volume; Access to the overall Lens audio mix; Access to Spectacles global audio level; ASR accepting audio inputs other than the microphone For example: WebView audio or the Lens global audio mix, enabling subtitles, transcription, or analysis for external media; YouTube Iframe support in WebView This would unlock many legitimate use cases for curated content, live streams, and educational experiences.

We need a way to create dummy / spoof locations and places for the Places and geolocation APIs
Developing location based apps in Lens Studio is a huge pain because there doesn't seem to be a way to really test the Places, Maps, etc APIs in Lens Studio since you need to be running on device to get real data. It would be cool if somehow each Specsd preview environment also had fake location / places / maps data associated with it that the API calls would get when making requests--or even a new type Specs preview window environment that is just basically a 3D view into the Map data--sort of Streetview-esque. So you can test outdoor navigation…

Compass heading varies quite a lot (and more GPS location / compass heading results)
The quality of the compass heading data (based on LocationService.onNorthAlignedOrientationUpdate combined with GeoLocation.getNorthAlignedHeading) seems to vary quite a lot. Sometimes it's spot on, but often it's significantly off, including, but not exclusively, 180 degrees rotated. This specifically refers to the compass heading it picks up when it starts. If you start rotating your head, it looks like it's mostly IMU/SLAM tracking then, so then compass heading changes vs head rotation are quite stable. But if the initial compass heading it picked up is wrong (which happens frequently), it sticks with that misaligned heading through the rotation and doesn't correct the…

UI Kit Buttons missing Has Shadow
I'm testing buttons today! I do not see 'Has Shadow' in the following components: RectangleButton, CapsuleButton, RoundButton. Also (..and this is minor), the RoundButton does not have a 'Size'. It only has a 'Width'. I'm mentioning that in case it's worth adding that difference to the existing documentation.
