I was selected as the second cohort to receive Snapchat's Next-Gen Spectacles. A lightweight augmented reality headset that is paired with Snap to play lenses, record content, and can be used to prototype experience specific to Next-Gen Spectacles. I have been making Snap lenses since Spring 2020, with over 10M+ views on my work.

This lens shows off this RTFK CloneX's custom traits. You can toggle eye lasers/on off with a UI button. This UI button does not appear in the final capture (live render only). The avatar will fit your face and mimic your facial expressions. See the lens in action on Twitter!
This is a Spectacles lens I built to test triggering events based on proximity. I wanted to make it fun -- so I created a scenario where a skeleton is throwing a dance party for 1 that stops when you get too close. I played around with Audio, prefab instantiation, animations, and tweens to put this together.
This lens allows you to use a joystick to drive a car around the world. This lens uses the World Object Controller Component as well as the Joystick component. Once the car starts driving, audio plays.
Thinking about accessibility for left vs right handed people, I modified the original Joystick component so that the joystick appears based on the position of the touch start event, and the joystick disappears once the touch end event happens. This keeps the FOV clear for users to have fun driving around the scene without having any UI impacting the experience if not needed for driving. The UI only appears in the live render and won't appear in any captured video.
This lens was originally built for Spectacles and I wore them as part of my Halloween costume! I created the wings as 2D images in Photoshop, imported them to Blender as planes, and then animated and rigged them in Blender. Once that was complete, I uploaded the finished model to Lens Studio and attached them with body tracking. I built other color variations of this lens in purple and pink.
See a video of this on Twitter.
What I love the most about wearing tech is the idea that in the future, digital clothing and accessories will become a part of our public identity. I wanted to follow this theme for my next Spectacles lens, which showed which school you went to attached to your body.
