Spectacles developers:  Lens Studio 5.15 was the last anticipated Lens Studio update for Spectacles (2024) and should be used for all Spectacles updates until further notice. Please continue to check the Spectacles Reddit for any updates as we approach our 2026 hardware release.

• Script Graph is in Beta! Make sure to backup and utilize Git features frequently to avoid losing progress.

  • The connection between `bind` and `getArguments` can cause losing all the connections in the node graph. 

  • Circular references aren't supported. The entity picker will not allow you to select graphs as references if they contain a reference to graph being edited.

  • The add new node menu search does not currently support fuzzy/aliased searching as it did in 4.55.
