The Specs cost $2,195. You can preorder them now with a refundable $220 deposit. Snap says it expects the devices to ship this fall in the US, UK, and France.<\/p>\n
Snap has not yet said which apps or features will be available on the new Specs. The company’s focus for these glasses is less on content capture and more on the AR experiences displayed on the screen, placed with the right depth and low latency to feel like a moving part of the environment. Snap has shown off lots of experiential features in its previous demo units, like fingerpainting in the air, following map directions, or manipulating a 3D model of a globe. The company says this unit will have some of the same features, including private display screens, Bluetooth capability, web browsing, AI-powered visual assistance, and a \u201cwide variety\u201d of AR experiences that understand the room and the objects around the wearer. Other than that, Snap won’t yet say what these Specs can do. That depends on whether developers buy in to build on the platform.<\/p>\n
\u201cSpecs will become meaningful because of the lenses you build,\u201d Spiegel said onstage at AWE.<\/p>\n

New Specs<\/p>\n
Snap\u2019s Specs are chonky, with big rims, honking arms, and thick temple tips. They look something like Meta\u2019s beefy Ray-Ban Display glasses<\/a>, albeit with more rounded corners. The Specs also have an AR display that covers a 51-degree field of view in the center of your vision, unlike the Display\u2019s bottom screen.<\/p>\n The look is a much more refined version of Snap\u2019s boxy AR Spectacles<\/a> the company has made available to developers since 2024. They\u2019re also fairly tasteful for a company that doesn\u2019t have fashion partnerships like Meta and Essilor Luxottica or Google\u2019s collaboration with Warby Parker and Gentle Monster<\/a>.<\/p>\n \u201cSome might actually say that oversized glasses are on trend at the moment,\u201d Spiegel said to WIRED in an interview ahead of AWE. \u201cFor us, it’s less about following fashion trends and more about delivering truly standout capability.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Snap\u2014maker of the popular social app Snapchat\u2014has a new pair of augmented-reality smart glasses called Specs.
