In the previous year, Snap had separated its wearable technology division to create a new company. At the Augmented World Expo 2026 on Tuesday, the new company released its first consumer-level augmented reality smart glasses named Specs. Specs glasses come in two sizes with a frame built using Swiss TR90 polymer material. The glasses utilize two unidentified Snapdragon processors that enable features such as hand tracking among others when the device is interacted with. The company also claims to have filed more than 7,000 patents during the development process.
Specs glasses are currently available for pre-order via the online store. The price starts from $2,195 (approximately Rs. 2,07,000) after placing a refundable deposit of $200 (approximately Rs. 19,000). Shipping of the product will be initiated in the United States, United Kingdom, and France within this year's fall season. Availability in other markets including India has not yet been mentioned by the company.
These latest Specs AR glasses come in two sizes. The 47mm model weighs approximately 132 grams, while the larger 52mm variant weighs 136 grams. Prescription lenses can also be fitted. The display system of these smart glasses is based on the company's proprietary liquid crystal on silicon technology.
Specs AR Glasses deliver a 51-degree field of view and 16 million colors. Furthermore, the tech firm claims that when the user is working, the display resembles a 24-inch desktop monitor, and when the user is watching a movie or show, it provides an experience similar to a 115-inch home cinema screen placed approximately 10 feet away. It uses waveguide technology containing billions of nanostructures, which is claimed to create a clearer and seamless view of the external environment.
On top of this, Specs AR Glasses are equipped with electrochromic lenses. These lenses come in handy when the user moves from a dimly lit area to a bright or sunny environment, as they can change their tint in just 10 seconds. The company says that this wearable device can superimpose maps for navigation onto the user's surroundings, providing an immersive experience. It is also capable of measuring locations.
This wearable device comes with several AR tools and an AI-powered voice assistant. This voice assistant is capable of generating responses and answering questions by understanding the user's surrounding environment. Additionally, wearers can also stream content to the Specs AR glasses. For privacy, an LED recording indicator on the smart glasses lights up whenever the world-facing camera is in use.
