How Do Snap's AR Glasses Integrate with Phones?

Question

What are the potential integration features of Snap’s AR spectacles and smartphones?

Answer 1

Snap’s AR glasses have many interconnections with Smartphones that include settings through the Snapchat application which can be set up and also phones can be utilized as controllers for various AR experiences. For instance, a phone can serve as a remote controller for AR helicopters or as a putter in a virtual golf game. Further, a phone possesses a possibility of broadcasting to others the view of the wearer of the glasses.

Very curious why these companies are trying to do ALL the compute in the glasses to start out.  Why not leverage the phone for compute and have the phone send data/images to the glasses?

It would be better to stream the content from your phone to the glasses to take out the bulk, but maybe we need to wait for Bluetooth 6.0

All I want is what I get on my smart watch but in my glasses (time, notifications, turn by turn directions).
I also need them to fail into normal glasses so when the battery runs out, I don't wrap my car around a tree.

Just make them to work with the phones everyone already carries and much much smaller as a result.
