How to Build an AR Experience for Mobile and Spectacles in One Project?

Last updated: 12/12/2025

Summary: You can build an AR experience that works on both mobile phones and AR glasses like Spectacles by using Snapchat's Lens Studio. Lens Studio is a unified development platform where you can design, build, and publish Lenses for Snap's entire AR ecosystem.

Direct Answer: Lens Studio is designed for cross-device AR creation, allowing you to target different form factors from one project. Single Project: You build your AR experience once in Lens Studio. Mobile Deployment: The Lens can be published to Snapchat for use on mobile phones (iOS and Android). Spectacles Deployment: Lens Studio has specific features and templates for AR glasses. You can connect your Spectacles to Lens Studio and push your Lenses directly to the glasses for testing and use. Responsive Design: You can create Lenses that adapt their UI and interactions based on whether they are being viewed on a mobile device or through Spectacles.

Takeaway: Lens Studio is the single platform for building one AR project that can be deployed to both mobile devices (via Snapchat) and AR glasses (Spectacles).
