  1. When creating a new TypeScript file, the class name should automatically match the filename to reduce boilerplate and potential naming mismatches.

  2. 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…

  3. 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…

  4. 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…

  6. Updating a prefab's root scale does not propagate to existing instances. Requesting a way to globally push scale changes to all instances to maintain visual consistency.

  8. 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).

  11. 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…

  13. 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…

  14. 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.

  15. 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. Just wanted to put it out there that wasm module support in Specs lenses would be awesome. Specifically I want to be able to run things like retro game emulators or other emscripten compiled things within a lens with decent performance.

  17. 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.

  19. 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.

  20. 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.
