Snap SPECS augmented reality glasses development

Overview

At the Snapdragon Summit, Snap demonstrated its SPECS augmented reality glasses, which feature spatial computing capabilities without the need for a bulky headset or external battery pack. The device allows users to anchor digital windows to physical spaces using hand gestures.

Following the initial showcase, Snap Inc. opened pre-orders for the SPECS glasses in the United States, United Kingdom, and France. The hardware includes a see-through waveguide with a 51-degree field of view and custom stereo speakers. While the device is lighter than previous developer prototypes, it remains heavier than some competitors. Developers can utilize Snap’s Lens Studio and Sync Framework to create content for the glasses.
