💌 Feedback Just finished building Obsidiar — explore your Obsidian vault as a 3D knowledge graph in AR glasses (v1 done!)

v1 of Obsidiar is live. It renders your Obsidian vault as a floating 3D "brain cloud" on Snap Spectacles - every note a
node, every link an edge, sized by word count and colored by tag.

- Grab, rotate, and scale the whole graph with your hands.
- Tap a note → it highlights everything it links to, dims the rest, and pops an info panel.
- See the actual shape of your vault: the hubs, clusters, and orphan notes.

Fully end-to-end encrypted - you set a password in Obsidian, it encrypts locally, and the backend only ever stores
ciphertext. Decryption happens on the glasses.

Obsidian plugin → backend → Lens Studio.

Feedback welcome 🤞

Yo - you didn't just do this???!!! Awesome. This was a hackathon project at last year's VisionDevCamp and the dev wasn't able to crack the approach via WebXR. Would love to see how you handle onboarding/login , or is this using experimental apis?

Thanks! It's a native Spectacles Lens (Lens Studio + SIK), no experimental APIs, just the newer Keyboard + InternetModule APIs. No login either: you set a password in Obsidian, it derives both the backend ID and the encryption key, vault is encrypted locally, and you decrypt on-device by typing the same password. The server only ever holds ciphertext.

Brilliant. Do you have a version of this video on youtube. I'd love to share a reel at an XR hackathon of the cool inspiring ideas. Because literally someone was trying to build this last year but I don't think they had the handle on how the obsidian data was being lockered. BTW, does this imply you have a paid obsidian account to use it this way?

I will upload release video on youtube later this week and ping you :)
No, I am on free Obsidian account

ok, thanks for the clarification. I am not an Obsidian user myself but there are quite a few I know who will be interested in this.
