Snap Spectacles Augmented Reading Experience

Long-form reading is on the decline, having to compete with seemingly endless screen-based distractions. To fight back, the National Library Board of Singapore and Snap have used the latter's Spectacles AR glasses to create an Augmented Reading experience. Using a mix of real-time OCR and generative AI, it reads the words on the page the user is currently reading, playing ambient music and sound effects like creaking doors or distant chatter while also creating visuals and effects that relate to the story. Prototypes of Snap Spectacles with Augmented Reading Lenses will soon be available for Singaporean residents to try out, and a lens prototype of Snap Spectacles featuring Augmented Reading will soon be available for the developer community in Spectacles' Lens Explorer.
