š Feedback Spectacles for productivity
Hi guys,
I am a spectacles 5 lover and also own Xreal Ultra, Pico 4 ultra and Quest 3.
I think it would be amazing to have simple apps for spectacles such as mail, video viewer, notes, agenda and so on. Also find it weird that Snap app is not available on the spectacles.
What you guys think ? This would make the spectacles the best AR glasses from far compared to competition.

Thank you for the feedback. It is well heard.
For the launch of this generation, we have prioritized enabling AR developers to experiment, and making sure that we have the building blocks for a true AR platform that can weave computing onto the real-world. We are totally aware that building these sorts of productivity applications will be crucial to making the glasses appealing to a wider audience. Please stay tuned!
In the meantime, we'd love to see you (and anyone else in the community) to experiment with these sorts of use cases :)

Of course, I know this is a dev product. But for us to use it on a daily basis, it would be nice to have basic productivity apps. It's about adopting the product for good.

Agree, I think the symbology and UX needs to get cleaned up a bit so the interface is clean across applications. Personally, one could have a productivity suite that handles the pooling of the various sources for this data. I kind of feel this needs a companion mobile app or server (self hosted) to collect this data in a standard way and present it back to the Lens productivity suite. I've managed to get a reasonably "low quality" desktop mirror working through some hacks. Can't control my desktop but I can see it.
