Matthew Hallberg presented a cool free sample.
The world of AR is rapidly expanding, and Snap Spectacles doesn't intend to lag behind more popular competitors. Among the latest innovations for the AR glasses is Matthew Hallberg's Camera Crop, which can turn your device into a version of Google Lens with a couple of finger gestures.
"The camera module allows access to the left or right camera texture on device. To align the image crop with either camera we can use the camera module to get intrinsics and pose (offset) of each camera. We can then create two virtual cameras underneath the main camera and set their respective physical properties. This way we can get camera space positions of objects in 3D space. This project uses those positions to update the screen crop texture accordingly," the creator explains.
The tool selects an object from your surroundings and identifies it. Then, you can search for it on Amazon with a single click. The video demonstrates its interaction with this marketplace only, so it's not clear if other websites are possible to access. However, you can try to see what you can do with the code on GitHub.
We've seen other interesting tools for Spectacles from other developers, including real-world object duplication, origami making, and an RPG you can play while walking.
