AR navigation + storytelling

AreWeThereYet

Human-scale AR navigation for the last 100 meters: record a walked route on Snap Spectacles once, and anyone can replay it with a hologram guide.

Problem

Maps reach an address but often fail at the last hundred feet: the right hallway, entrance, airport exit, or hidden local place.

Approach

Built in Lens Studio 5.12 with the Spectacles Interaction Kit and depth cache: record a route, drop spatial waypoints with contextual callouts (enter here, go upstairs, look right), then replay it as dotted AR guidance with a hologram guide, with Lens Cloud as the persistence direction.

Outcome

It reframes navigation as reassurance and storytelling, especially valuable for campuses, hospitals, travel, accessibility, and unfamiliar indoor spaces.

Key results

  • Real-route recording and playback
  • Hologram guide and dotted AR path
  • Context and easter-egg waypoints
  • Accessibility and travel use cases
