Finished Lenses can go to Snapchat and Spectacles, or to web and mobile apps through Camera Kit.

Version 5.24 Leaderboard projects and templates require Snapchat Mobile 14.23.
TeamViewer Frontline
TeamViewer Frontline is an augmented-reality platform that gives industrial workers visual information and procedures for tasks including logistics, assembly, inspection, maintenance, remote assistance, and training. Frontline Pick guides warehouse work such as order picking, inventory, and sequencing with visual cues, audio, and verification. Frontline Make provides step-by-step assembly instructions; Frontline Inspect supplies maintenance steps and checklists; and Frontline Upskill supports training with animated 3D equipment models. With Frontline Assist, remote experts can view a worker’s perspective and add live annotations and instructions. The browser-accessible Command Center manages devices, users, and workflows, monitors task progress, supports remote support, and produces PDF reports. It also handles user roles and access rights and records activity in audit logs. Frontline can connect to PLM, WMS, and ERP systems, with documented SAP and Microsoft Dynamics examples. It runs in the cloud or on premises, and Workplace runs on smart glasses and mobile devices including tablets. Pricing is available on request; prospective customers can request a free 14-day commercial trial of Frontline Assist.
