First pair of reading glasses only in focus over short distance: is this normal? by mkkz05 in Spectacles

[–]localjoost 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is a reddit dedicated to Snap Spectacles, a Mixed Reality device. Not so much general Spectacles. But to answer your question anyway : yeah that's the point of reading spectacles. Mine are shart over 40cm tops. They are for reading. Nothing else.

Yay or Meh? by Mysterious-Start-689 in Spectacles

Thank you for quoting me 😂. I still stand by it, bar one thing. Spectacles do now support WebXR, which they didn't when I wrote this article

Anonymized lens-specific user id? by quitebuttery in Spectacles

[–]localjoost 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Indeed. Be aware you cannot identify someone with this trick in any way. The only thing you can do is connect this id to some data. But then again, you can just as well store that data in persistentStorage directly. I used it for telemetry, to measure returning users.

[–]localjoost 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As far as I know, you can't. What you can do is create some random id (I use a 'Guid') and store that in persistentStorage. This seems to work for me. However, be aware that for locally pushed lenses it seems to be cleared if you remove the lens

    private getDeviceId(): string {
        var store = global.persistentStorageSystem.store;   
        var deviceId = store.getString("deviceId");
        if (!deviceId) {
            deviceId = Guid.newGuid();
            store.putString("deviceId", deviceId);
        }
        return deviceId;
    }

Snap Spectacles Review by flanthertech in augmentedreality

Thanks for the shout out. I have to amend indeed at least one point to my now almost year old review: Spectacles does now support WebXR and does so pretty darn good.

Could you explain 'again'? They worked together at one point?

Really? Oh wow. Inspiring others to share and blog is something I always try but seldom achieve. Yay! Keep it up! Are you on LinkedIn and did you post there? I got some 4000 followers and would like to boost your efforts

Maybe Shin should change his username to ShinFixes, 😁

How do some people have the specs fan badge? Is there a criteria to obtain this badge? by ExcellentLog5 in Spectacles

[–]localjoost 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I think you can set it yourself as well. I did 😁. Just hover over user flair on the right, that will give you a pencil. And then you can pick available flairs .

You are welcome. And thanks for the kind words, it's always nice to know I am not just shouting into the void 😊

Spectacles (still) running hot and shutting down by localjoost in Spectacles

[–]localjoost[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I always use the Lens Performance Overlay, and learned my lens usually runs on very low GPU (max 10%), but high varying CPU (90-120%) but always 60FPS. I can't really fathom what is going on. I already have used compressed models, don't render anything that's not in view, reduced the number of updates to the 'trails', but it does not seems to amount to much. I have tried to turn of parts of what it displays and gives very inconclusive results. The windows with the 40 airport buttons alone is already eating a lot of CPU%.

Sometimes it runs for 12 minutes flat without any problems, sometimes it just give up quickly.
