  • After creating several outdoor AR games that can be played without anyone noticing it (no controller, no hand gestures) I'm starting to realise that a person wearing AR glasses is actually a superb controller him/herself. Head xyz rotation and movement, head nodding. The future is hands-free!
    No, this isn't a rendering. The game is a spatial Snapchat lens, viewed on the Spectacles AR glasses. Thanks to the 'device tracking' feature in the lens you can walk around the AR scene like this. The video is a screenrecording of what I'm seeing, except that on the device the FOV is a little smaller. Source: about 2 years ago
