An Invitation to the Wild World of Snap Spectacles
Optic Sky was given the opportunity to develop experiences and explore the future with Snap Inc's Next-Gen Snap Spectacles.
This page covers our journey from receiving the glasses (and fully appreciating the unboxing experience) to crafting lenses that were shared on Snap's social channels to promote the future of wearables.

A Short Intro
Before we jump into the finished experiences, we feel it's important to get everyone on the same page with the Augmented Reality (AR) terminology we're using on this effort breakdown.
What is Augmented Reality (AR)?
It's like having a magical lens that superimposes digital content onto your actual environment, whether it's displaying directions on your smartphone screen, placing virtual furniture in your living room, or letting you call the shots as an umpire in a baseball game.

Our Mission: Exploring the Possibilities of Phone-Less Augmented Reality
We all love our phones (sometimes too much) but wouldn't it be sweet if we could simply open our eyes and see the augmented world around us? If you can circumvent the dystopian worries, come along with us as we collectively explore the positive impact that this tech will have on our lives.
