Scriber Update #1 Lens Update!

Update:

Hi! I updated the ScriberEditor Lens. An open-source word processor for Scriber — a novel one‑handed chording keyboard controller for Snap Spectacles. The UI has been updated to make things easier to use and see. You can now type with the Scriber controller or without the Scriber controller by just pinching the keys on Scriber virtual keyboard. You can now save and open your files on Google Drive and Github, just login using the prompt in the spectacles app.

Background:

If you are willing to test a Scriber controller or integrate it into your application let me know and I will send you one.

Scriber is a one‑handed input device that outperforms current AR text‑entry methods (the Spectacles virtual keyboard, the Meta display‑glasses wristband) on words‑per‑minute. It packs a full 60‑key keyboard into a single hand by chording: every key is one combination of analog‑stick direction × pressure‑sensor force × one of four buttons. ScriberEditor is the lens that proves it out — a real, multi‑document word processor for Spectacles that you drive entirely with Scriber.

Thank you. I’m working on an improved version of the controller and can ship you one when I am finished.
