Faster Localization

The new mapping flow makes it faster and easier for players to connect within the same shared space. Instead of manually aligning environments, players can now simply look at another participant who has already joined the session to automatically map and sync their space. This streamlined process reduces setup time and ensures a smoother, more natural multiplayer experience.

Start Mode and Start Menu Customization

A new Start Mode option has been added to the Session Controller Component, allowing creators to configure how the Lens starts. In addition, developers can also now customize the Start Menu to match their Lens design. The StartMenu scene object in the Scene Hierarchy includes editable elements.

Session ID Configuration for Spectacles and Lens Studio

Introduced support for configuring a same Session ID to enable automatic session synchronization between Spectacles to Lens Studio and Spectacles to Spectacles. This enhancement simplifies not only session selection flow but also development workflow for Multiplayer Lenses, ensuring all connected devices automatically join the same session without manual selection.

• Spectacles to Spectacles, setting a Session ID ensures both devices connect to the same session automatically which removes the need to manually select or join a session, simplifying the user flow and reducing setup time.

• Lens Studio to Spectacles, developers can test multiplayer functionality using just one Spectacles device, allowing for faster iteration and more efficient development.

For Same Session ID configuration setup, please refer to Configuring Same Session.

Custom Location Integration

Custom Location Integration feature combines Custom Location with the Spectacles Sync Kit, enabling persistent, shared AR experiences linked to real-world environments. Developers can now pre-scan a location, allowing for seamless multiplayer user flow without needing to restart the mapping flow every time the Lens is launched.
