1. 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.

2. 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.

3. 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.

5. 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.

7. 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".

8. 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.

11. 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.

    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).

16. 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 generation side of UI work, but that doesn't take you all the way to a coherent user flow, so the orchestration work still falls back on the developer.

    Those challenges are what prompted me to start releasing small open-source pieces addressing particular pain points. The first drop is a text reflow utility: https://github.com/a-sumo/spatial-flex/tree/main/packages/text-reflow

    To keep things actionable, a few suggested buckets to drop into:

    1. Layout and constraints: what's hardest to express? (centering, fitting text in a box, responsive sizing, anchoring)

    2. Runtime introspection: how are you inspecting instantiated UI today?

    3. Live preview and testing: how do you verify the user experience matches your specification?

18. 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 use my voice to generate 3D objects

    Here is the project file I used: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1s_L9ou4LWDv9879aI3J3VLyURC0hedNB/view?usp=sharing

    Both my Spectacles OS and mobile app are on the latest version.
    I am using V5.15.4 for Lens Studio.
    My extended permissions is also enabled in Developer settings.

19. 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.

20. 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.
