Would love to see native .spz Gaussian Splat support in Lens Studio alongside .ply.

With the industry rapidly moving towards SPZ as the default splat format, it feels like the right time. From Niantic Spatial and Scaniverse open sourcing SPZ, to World Labs Marble API returning .spz only, adoption is clearly growing across the spatial ecosystem. (Niantic Spatial, Inc.) https://www.linkedin.com/posts/michaelrubloff\_the-popular-gaussian-splatting-compression-ugcPost-7457538271775137792-m\_Ai

Biggest advantage is obviously file size and streaming efficiency. SPZ files are often ~10x smaller than equivalent PLY splats while keeping nearly identical visual quality. Huge win for Spectacles workflows, cloud streaming, quicker iteration, and mobile friendly spatial experiences.

Right now most workflows require external conversion back to .ply, which adds unnecessary friction. Native import/export support would make Lens Studio pipelines way smoother for developers experimenting with Gaussian worlds, VPS maps, and spatial AI experiences.

Anyone else here hoping for SPZ support soon?

Developing for Spectacles within a mobile-first IDE creates unnecessary friction. Many mobile features are redundant or broken on the device, while essential Spectacles functions lack native integration.
Key Issues
Feature Redundancy: Tools like Segmentation remain visible in the UI despite being unsupported, leading to developer confusion.
Lack of Native Parity: "Device Tracking - Surface Mode" doesn't work natively for Spectacles; we shouldn't need a separate placement package for a core spatial feature.
API Fragmentation: The shared API list is cluttered with mobile-only methods, making it difficult to identify Spectacles-compatible logic.
Proposed Solution
I am requesting a Spectacles-specific version of Lens Studio (or a dedicated "Native Specs Mode") that includes:

  1. A Streamlined UI: Automatically hides all non-functional mobile features.
  2. Native Surface Support: Built-in surface placement that works out-of-the-box for world-locked content.
  3. Dedicated Documentation: A standalone API reference strictly for Spectacles-supported features.
    At this stage, Spectacles development has evolved enough to deserve its own native environment and optimized workflow.

Just back from Bootcamp all energized and inspired to build krazyy things ! If you’re anything like me who tends to forget things very easily then this app is for you ! I can’t even “remember” how many times I have forgotten my stuff and misplaced them when I need them the most turning the whole situation into a Krazyy and Kaotic mess 🙈😝

So I’ve been building this app called Remember for Spectacles, and it gives your glasses memory.

Not in the vague “AI but make it futuristic” way. I mean actually useful memory.

The app captures moments from your first-person view, turns them into compact memory snippets, and lets you ask things later like:

“Do you remember where I put my keys?”

“What did I do today?”

“What do you remember about my backpack?”

“Where was my passport?”

“Summarize what happened this week.”

And it answers back with voice.

What I like about it is that it’s not just saving random camera frames like a hoarder with a GPU. It tries to understand the moment:

what you were doing

where you were

what objects were around

what changed

what was probably important

So instead of storing “IMG_4827 but wearable,” it stores something closer to:

“You left your keys on the kitchen counter near the coffee machine.”

Which is way more useful when your brain decides to uninstall itself for 20 minutes.

It also has a bunch of voice commands, so you can actually manage memory like it’s a real system and not a one-shot demo.

You can say stuff like:

“remember this”

“remember that my passport is in the top drawer”

“remind me to take my passport for my LA trip”

“show memories relevant to my keys”

“summarize what you remember about my desk”

And yes, you can also change the assistant voice.

So if the memory assistant is sounding too robotic at 8 AM, you can literally tell it to use a calmer, warmer, brighter, neutral, or deeper voice. Which is a very funny feature to have in something whose main job is helping you find your keys, but honestly it makes the whole thing feel more alive.

There’s also a privacy side I cared about a lot.

The app uses client-side data encryption, so memory content and thumbnails can be encrypted before cloud sync. That means the cloud stores protected payloads instead of your personal memories sitting there in plain text, which is a pretty important detail for something that is basically becoming your external brain.

A few more things it does that I think are cool:

Auto mode can keep capturing memories on an interval

Manual mode only remembers when you explicitly tell it to

Private mode pauses memory capture completely

it can show a thumbnail preview of the memory it’s referring to

it can work locally offline and sync later

it can sync memory to the cloud

it supports corrections, so if it got something wrong you can update the memory instead of duplicating nonsense

it supports undo, which is honestly mandatory if we’re giving glasses memory powers

destructive actions use confirmation flow, so you don’t accidentally wipe your digital hippocampus because you muttered something weird

The fun part is that it starts to feel less like “camera assistant” and more like search for your real life.

Not full sci-fi mind palace yet.

But definitely:

“my glasses have receipts.”

Potentially useful for:

misplaced item recall

day recaps

reminders tied to real-world context

travel prep

accessibility and memory support

“where did I just put that thing literally 40 seconds ago” emergencies

Try it here:

TL;DR:

I built a Spectacles app that can capture what you see, turn it into searchable memories, answer questions out loud, change its speaking voice, pause for privacy, let you correct/delete/undo memories, and protect synced memory data with client-side encryption.
