Convert a Project to SPECS

CLAD is optimized for the SPECS platform. You can convert an existing project to target the SPECS platform, or create a SPECS project from scratch — see Setup Lens Studio.

Tip: You can ask CLAD to set up your project to target SPECS for you. If you ask AI to create a SPECS experience, it will automatically update your project with the steps below.

Converting a Project to SPECS

1. Convert Target Platform to SPECS.

   

2. Select project settings from the menu icon or through the toolbar: File > Project Settings.

3. Confirm that the platform of your Preview panel(s) is set to SPECS 27.

   

4. Install the packages SPECS UI Kit and Spectacles Interaction Kit from the Asset Library. Installing SPECS UI Kit should automatically also install Spectacles Interaction Kit because it lists that plugin as a dependency. Verify they are installed under the Packages section of the Asset Browser.

   

5. For any Camera objects in the scene, add a Device Tracking component to each and set its Tracking Mode to World.

   
   

6. For any camera objects in the scene, set the Far value to a large value like 100,000.

   

7. Expand SpectaclesInteractionKit and drag Prefabs/SpectaclesInteractionKit into the scene.

   

You should see two hands appear in the scene as well as an error. Refresh the Logger and the error will be fixed.

The above steps outline the minimum changes necessary to port a project to the SPECS platform. Additional steps may be necessary for certain features. On our documentation website, at the top of a feature’s page, you can check which platforms are supported and whether any additional constraints apply.
