About six months after SNAP launched AR glasses for fifth generation and developers, the company is already improving the latest pairs with new lenses and platform features.
SNAP announced on Monday that it will start the ability to create glasses -centered lenses that tap GPS and new hand tracking functions. Now, developers can use GPS, Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS), compass titles and custom locations to build lenses to access geographic location data and create objects such as AR Working Cours.
This update aims to improve the location -based experience of glasses.
SNAP shows some examples of new features such as Navigatar in Utopian laboratory, which shows a brilliant arrow to help the wearer reach his destination.
Another new platform for glasses includes the hand tracking function mentioned above, which detects cross -crossing and when the user gets the phone. SNAP now allows developers to easily add reader boards to the lens for competitive -oriented experience.
There is also a new AR keyboard.
Glasses can only be accessible through the developer program of SNAP, which is $ 99 a month.
However, SNAP has recently introduced 50% discount to educators and students, and the long -term goal is to bring AR experience to the public and compete with technical giants such as Apple, Google and META.
With today’s announcement, SNAP has announced a series of tasks to award $ 20,000 to developers who own the top 10 lenses each month. This series, called “SpectAcles Community Challenges,” starts on April 1.
