New Lens Category<\/h2>\n

\u2b50 A category that pushes you to experiment with unfamiliar tools, features, and ideas, turning curiosity into innovation to create new, engaging Lenses.<\/em><\/p>\n

<\/span>1st Place: Iyo Roll<\/a><\/em> by Liam Mason<\/strong><\/p>\n

Iyo Roll<\/strong><\/em> places a tilting play area right in front of the user, challenging them to guide their Iyo to the goal line. By tilting the board, players roll the ball, collect stars along the way, and try to avoid falling off the edge.<\/p>\n

<\/span>2nd Place: Memory Grid<\/a><\/em> by Harry Banda<\/strong><\/p>\n

Memory Grid<\/em> is a spatial AR game that challenges players to observe, memorize, and recreate a path across a floor grid. After watching the sequence, users must physically step on the correct tiles. One wrong move sends them back to retry the level. With 11 increasingly difficult levels and 12 achievements to unlock, the experience tests both memory and precision.<\/p>\n

<\/span>3rd Place: Axis<\/a><\/em> by Luka Lan Gabriel<\/strong><\/p>\n

Axis<\/em> is a hands-on 3D puzzle that invites players to rebuild one of eight world-famous landmarks. The monument begins fully assembled on a podium before breaking into floating shards, which users can grab, rotate, and snap back into place using pinch gestures. <\/p>\n

Designed to feel tactile, clean, and satisfying, the experience highlights the moment when each piece clicks perfectly into position. With puzzles of varying difficulty, the Lens gently guides users through increasing challenges, asking them to complete all eight puzzles.<\/p>\n

<\/span>Runner up: Cubique Chamber<\/a><\/em> by Maksim Kuzlin <\/strong><\/p>\n

Cubique Chamber<\/em> offers a spatial twist on the classic Rubik\u2019s Cube, placing users inside the iconic puzzle itself. With a panel of buttons at their disposal, players are challenged to solve the cube from within, testing their logic and spatial awareness in a new way. The experience reimagines a familiar game with an immersive perspective, turning problem-solving into a fully interactive challenge.<\/p>\n

<\/span>Runner up: Hot Air Hero<\/em><\/a> by Roland Smeenk<\/strong><\/p>\n

After scanning the space, users enter a grey balloon and control it with hand gestures to lift, lower, and steer. Collect colored clouds to unlock patterns, avoid obstacles, and fly through twisters to change colors. The Lens uses physics-based interactions with the environment for a fully immersive experience.<\/p>\n

Lens Update Category<\/h2>\n

\u2b50 The Lens Update category invites you to revisit and enhance an already published Lenses, adding new features or refinements to unlock monetization and gain extra visibility.<\/em><\/p>\n

<\/span>1st Place: Artel<\/em><\/a> by Yegor Ryabtsov<\/strong><\/p>\n

Artel<\/em> is an AR drawing app that lets users create in 3D space using a wide range of brushes, colors, and effects, while managing layers and saving scenes to revisit their work later.<\/p>\n

The V3 update introduces physics-enabled strokes, allowing users to draw with gravity and dynamic interactions, along with PBR support for more expressive metallic and roughness effects. It also adds improved hand occlusion options, refined brush dynamics, the ability to edit strokes in saved scenes, and faster scene reconstruction for a smoother experience.<\/p>\n

<\/span>2nd Place: Enhanced Sanctum<\/a><\/em> by Girls Power (Anastassiya Marchenko & Elsa Farrokhzad)<\/strong><\/p>\n

Sanctum<\/em> is a wellness Lens for Spectacles that delivers real-time AI-guided sessions powered by OpenAI APIs through the Remote Service Gateway. <\/p>\n

The update introduces real-time interactions, pre-generated posture and guidance visuals with loading feedback, instant session cancellation while keeping controls accessible, and improved system stability through proper material handling and persistent UI for seamless, in-flow switching.<\/p>\n

<\/span>3rd Place: Grab-A-Ghost<\/a><\/em> by Ruya Baraz<\/strong><\/p>\n

GRAB\ud83d\udc7bGHOST<\/em> is a spatial claw machine for Spectacles, with players competing to catch ghosts and rank on a live weekly leaderboard.<\/p>\n

The update introduces voice-powered AI to generate custom 3D prizes in real time, which are added directly into the machine as playable objects. It also enables spatial anchoring, allowing captured ghosts to be placed into the user\u2019s physical environment. A dynamic AI announcer reacts in real time to gameplay, enhancing the overall experience.<\/p>\n

Open Source Category<\/h2>\n

\u2b50 This category welcomes open-source Lenses on GitHub, including those using Experimental APIs, giving you the freedom to push boundaries and break new ground without requiring Lens Explorer publication.<\/em><\/p>\n

<\/span>1st Place: Reachy Mini<\/a><\/em> by Johannes Tscharn<\/strong><\/p>\n

Play with Reachy Mini<\/em>, a cute robot brought into AR. Users can control it directly like a puppet or interact by speaking, with the robot responding to both voice and the surrounding environment.<\/p>\n

The experience bridges the physical and digital worlds, with a simulator mode available for users without the physical robot, allowing anyone to experience an AI companion. The project is designed as an open, fully documented template, ready to be extended and built upon.<\/p>\n

<\/span>2nd Place: SpecDesk<\/a><\/em> by Baruch Geuze & Joshua Silva Maniche<\/strong><\/p>\n

SpecDesk<\/em> lets you use Spectacles as additional monitors for your desktop, streaming one or multiple displays in real time via WebRTC with low latency. Virtual displays can be created directly from the companion Mac app, with quick pairing through a room code or QR scan.<\/p>\n

<\/span>3rd Place: Lego AR<\/a><\/em> by Stijn Spanhove & Pavlo Tkachenko<\/strong><\/p>\n

Point your Spectacles at any LEGO creation and watch it come to life with AI-generated sounds and music. Using Gemini 3 Flash, the system identifies each object and generates unique audio in seconds, while hand tracking lets you grab, shake, and interact with your creations.<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re inspired by what you\u2019ve seen, there\u2019s always another challenge ahead. Another opportunity to build, experiment, and share your vision with others \u2013 We\u2019re waiting for your submissions for the Spectacles Community Challenge #11<\/a> until March 31.<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
