ARtisan
ARtisan transforms your kitchen into an interactive AI-powered cooking experience through Spectacles AR glasses. When you ask "what can I cook with these ingredients?", the app uses computer vision to analyze your kitchen in real-time, identifying available ingredients like fresh tomatoes, basil, or pasta on your counters. Gemini Live processes both your voice and camera feed simultaneously, then generates beautiful floating recipe cards that appear in AR space with complete cooking instructions, prep times, and ingredient lists that show green checkmarks for items it spotted in your view. The spatial interface uses a hand-tracking sphere that follows your movements, letting you control the AI conversation through natural gestures while recipe cards animate smoothly into your field of view with all the details you need to start cooking.
Automated Grocery Tracker
The website allows users to input a recipe or a list of ingredients. It then parses the input to identify the ingredients, checks them against the user's dietary preferences and budget constraints, and outputs a curated grocery list that fits their needs. This helps users plan meals efficiently and avoid unnecessary purchases.
Conversenses
ConvoSenses is a proactive conversation intelligence tool that works in two layers: - Real-time AR feedback: Subtle cues on Spectacles HUD (e.g., "Take 3s pause" or "Let them finish"), with 5 visual indicators (Fluency, Prosody, Pragmatics, Consideration, Time Balance) that shift from green to red based on performance. This helps users manage speaking anxiety and improve conversational balance without distraction.

Who AR you?
Who AR You? is a multiplayer augmented reality party game. One player is assigned a mystery character from a chosen category (e.g., animals, celebrities, food). The twist? The character floats above their head, so everyone except them can see it! The guesser asks yes-or-no questions to the "game master" to figure out their identity. Each correct answer allows them to ask another question—wrong answers mean waiting for the next turn. The game ends when the guesser correctly identifies their character.
Peckin Pigeons
Ideation: Natalie said "What if you have to fight a giant boss pigeon?" and the game ideas just kept flowing from this premise. Planning: After we captured the use cases and defined the MVP, Mary Anne organized the Sprint Plan and a Product backlog and kept the team focused with a storyboard. Modeling: Glitter jumped into blender and started building Models, then while Natasha researching assets and prepping files for import Development: Thomas used the Snap Spectacles' Connected Lenses in Lens Studio, first setting up multiplayer and then prototyping the hand gestures and object interactions. Natasha worked closely with Thomas to refine game interactions.
Glimpse of You
Glimpse of You lets two people explore a museum (or any scanned space) together—live or async, in the same room or across the globe—leaving voice notes, emoji reactions, and memories, while being able to explore by interacting with artifacts in an environment.
Context AR
When users enter the app, an instance of the user is instantiated, and we invite users to speak into the Spectacles Mic to describe their mood, availability, and desire to talk to others. Based on their voice input we transcribe this and send the transcription to our AI, which decides if the user's status is one of four colors: Red representing angry, Blue representing being focused and locked in (DND mode), Green representing an eagerness to meet others and be approachable, and Yellow representing a weaker desire to communicate, potentially causing irritation if approached. Once the AI chooses the best color based on their voice input, a circular colored status is shown above their heads on a box, allowing other users in the environment to see their status. This truly helps people know who to talk to and who not to bother.
All Aboard
ALL ABOARD is a gentle AR obstacle course game that requires two players. Player One draws an AR path on the floor that turns into a small river. Once the river is formed, a boat appears with a rope coming out of either side. Player One and Player Two stand on opposite banks of the river and each pick up a rope. Walking together, they steer the boat down the river using the ropes to their destination (i.e. a lighthouse) while avoiding running the boat into the river banks.

It encourages users to pick a side, record their take, and share it — fueling debate and virality.
Popped
The game starts with both players confirming their starting position. Each round, the players get one shot to pop the other's balloon. The limited shots make each attempt valuable, and heighten the tension of a miss. The game ends once one player pops the other's balloon.
My Singing Animals
While wearing Snap Spectacles, you can see different animals appear in your world — and when you touch them, they produce sounds or musical notes. At the same time, your player partner can join in by moving their own animals, adding their unique sounds to the mix. Each animal brings its own distinct sound or rhythm, and together you create a one-of-a-kind musical collaboration, blending all the elements into a fun, interactive tune.

Desk Buddy
A little buddy to help you if you need while you work? Someone to give it to you straight, or to help you through your daily life? you need a buddy to help you navigate your setup and help you out when needed? That's what Desk Buddy is for! We built Desk Buddy because we love that future of an fun holographic assistant, inspired by cute avatars that sit on your screen like Clippy, Bonzi Buddy (but he's not a virus, we promise), and Merlin. Except instead on your screen, Desk Buddy sits on your desk!
Running Buddy
Running is simple. Left foot, right foot, repeat. You'd think that'd be easy to stick with. But then it's Week 3 of "trying to get back into it," and you're out on the same route, at the same pace, listening to the same playlist. Your legs hurt. Your soul hurts. You start bargaining with yourself around kilometer three:
Kaantaa
With our eyes set on joining the Snap Spectacles track and being given the theme of "Illumination", we immediately thought of augmented reality applications oriented towards education and learning. We were inspired by the Japanese language learning game, Shashingo, where players take photos of objects around a fictional city and learn vocabularies. We wanted to implement something similar but in reality instead.
Lengua Learn
LenguaLearn utilizes the Snap Spectacles to make an immersive language-learning experience. As users follow their daily routine, encountered objects will be labelled with their translations. To illuminate their understanding, they can interact with the labels for an audio pronunciation. Ideal for language learners, LinguaLife seamlessly integrates everyday life. And, our app helps reinforce vocabulary through visual and contextual association.
Cue Tips
Social cues can be tricky for individuals on the autism spectrum, especially kids. A lot of assistive tech is bulky or clinical, and we wanted to make something that felt natural and non-intrusive—something you could just put on and use. That's where the idea came from: leveraging Snapchat Spectacles and AR to help people better understand and respond to emotions in real time.
