Snap launches Specs AR glasses and Specs Intelligence AI
Snap has officially launched Specs, its first consumer augmented reality (AR) glasses, alongside a new AI-driven service called Specs Intelligence. Positioned as a standalone AR computer rather than a simple accessory, the device features dual Snapdragon processors, a 51-degree field of view, and waveguide displays. The glasses are designed to function independently of a smartphone, utilizing hand and voice interactions to navigate interfaces.
Specs Intelligence acts as an anticipatory AI assistant that works across Specs, iPhone, and Mac. It aims to proactively surface relevant information—such as travel details, meeting preparations, or task reminders—based on the user's goals and routines. The service is available in preview for iOS users in the United States.
The hardware is priced starting at $2,195, with an optional cellular-enabled charging case available for a total of $2,395. Snap is partnering with Verizon to provide cellular connectivity in the US. For enterprise applications, Snap is collaborating with Nvidia, Amazon Web Services (AWS), and Salesforce to integrate professional workflows and high-fidelity 3D content streaming. Shipping is expected to begin later this fall in the US, UK, and France.
