Inna Horobchuck is an architect and interior designer who turned her spatial design background into a practice of building AR lenses for Snap Spectacles. In this conversation, she walks through the thinking behind her most recognised experiences, from a wine identifier and a book-scanning lens to a star map featured by Spectacles, and explains why the most meaningful AR often solves a very small, specific problem.

Before getting into the interview, I wanted to quickly introduce you to today’s sponsor Gracia AI. Gracia AI is the only app that allows you to experience Gaussian Splatting volumetric videos on a standalone headset, either in VR or MR.

It is a truly impressive experience and I recommend you to try it out right now on your Quest or PC-powered headset.
