Snap AR glasses support third-party 3DoF smart rings: ARKH AR

Snap announced that Spectacles AR glasses will add support for ARKH AR ring controllers. It is reported that the ARKH AR ring is based on the previously acquired AR smart ring Litho. It is characterized by weighing only 24g, lasting more than 8 hours, providing 3DoF hand positioning, and touch-based gesture operations (supporting sliding, tapping and other actions). It is sold Price $125.

It is worth noting that ARKH stated in the press release that the AR ring will be integrated with Snap’s next-generation Spectacles glasses and has been provided to developers. It's unclear whether "next generation" refers to the released 2021 version or an unannounced new model.

According to Qingting.com, ARKH was originally an AR social and spatial computing platform, and its founder was YouTube anchor Landon Nickerson. The smart ring can optimize the experience of AR social, AR interaction, AR creation and other scenes. When combined with Spectacles, it can be well integrated with the social features of Snapchat AR filters.

Without a handle, Spectacles operates and interacts mainly through gestures and temple touch mechanisms. There are three main advantages of supporting 3DoF rings:

• 1) Provide developers with flexible operation methods to simplify the AR development process;
• 2) Reduce the computing tasks of Spectacles running gesture operations;
• 3) The tracking range is larger than optical hand tracking and the performance is more stable.
