Snap expands Spectacles’ capabilities with GPS and hand-tracking features
Snap has released new features for Spectacles, its AR glasses for developers, including the ability to build Lenses that leverage GPS.
Now, developers can build Lenses using GPS, GNSS (Global Navigation Satellite System), compass heading, and custom locations, allowing them to access geo-location data and create things like AR walking courses. However, Snap recently introduced a 50% discount for educators and students, indicating that its long-term goal is to bring AR experiences to the masses while also helping it compete with tech giants like Apple, Google, and Meta. Alongside today’s announcement, Snap unveiled a series of challenges that will award $20,000 to Spectacles-owning developers who create the top 10 best Lenses each month.
