ARKH AR Controller x SPECTACLES Integration

Press Release

Hi there, everyone,

Following our recent Hyperweb Update announcement, we are back with even more exciting news! Our team has been collaborating behind the scenes on a series of remarkable developments, and we can’t wait to tell you all about it.

Today, we are thrilled to announce that the AR Controller is now integrated with Snap’s next-generation Spectacles. For those who don’t know, the AR Controller is a product designed specifically for developers and early adopters to engage and test the ideal way of interfacing with AR technology of the future.

What does this mean?

The integration of the AR Controller with the Spectacles is a huge step forward for us, as well as the standard model of “Augmented Reality” as we know it.

With the AR Controller, people using Spectacles can now have a wearable device that provides a more seamless and user-friendly experience while lowering the computational resource demands for the connected Spectacles.

Even more, now you can engage with the AR objects you see through Spectacles with your fingertips on the AR controller, and you can maintain this engagement without having your hands in front of your face to do so!

This integration development has been made available to developers with a pair of next-generation Spectacles. Our AR Controller asset can now be found in the Lens Studio Asset Library, making it even easier for everyone to try out! (see below).

Get your own AR Controller!

To emphasize our commitment to being a part of the defining force behind the 'ideal' future of augmented reality technology, we are making available 50 controllers to active Spectacles developers free of charge so that we may easily unlock the many AR experiences made possible by this awesome development together.

If you are a developer interested in getting your hands on an AR Controller, please contact us at dev@arkh.com!

What’s next?

As huge AR enthusiasts (lol), this is a huge milestone for us, and we’re looking forward to continuing our work with Snap in the future. These great ambitions support even greater developments for where we can go with the AR Controller x Spectacles integration.

We're thrilled with this development, and we can't wait for everyone to try it out for themselves. Stay tuned for more updates from us soon!
