Features

Overview

Spectacles uses the same Lens Studio API set as Snapchat and Camera Kit. However, some APIs work exclusively on Spectacles and are marked as "wearable only." Additionally, certain existing APIs do not function on the Spectacles (2024) device; refer to the list below for details.

Many features are still being ported and tested from the Snapchat API to Spectacles. You can try using these features since the Lens Studio workflow is similar. Features that are consolidated are usually accompanied by spectacles samples or asset. If a feature isn't listed or supported, you can test it and provide feedback to our team . Visit our Samples Repository for development resources.
