JEETESH SINGH, a freelance augmented reality (AR) developer and designer, is among the first Indian developers to gain access to Snap's fifth-generation Spectacles, a developer-only, AR-powered pair of glasses. Snapchat's owner, Snap, aims to speed up the development of AR content for its Spectacles and is looking at young Lens creators like Singh to develop compelling AR experiences.

"I wanted to create a unique interaction and was focused on developing a new experience using both hands and creating a new gesture that would be fun and user-friendly. That's how I started building this experience, then I created a story, and finally, I built the game around it," said Singh, a Mumbai-based computer engineer.
