AI NEWSLatest AI NewsArticleSnap Releases New AR Smart Glasses SPECS, Accelerating Spatial Computing StrategyPublished in Latest AI NewsTime :Jun 17, 2026Read :4minuteAR and social giant Snap officially announced the launch of a new wearable computing device with built-in transparent augmented reality glasses - SPECS, marking the deep extension of its AI and spatial computing ecosystem into consumer hardware. The device is now available for pre-order on the SPECS.COM website, priced at $2195, with a $200 refundable deposit to secure a spot. The first batch of products is expected to launch in the US, UK, and France this autumn.As the result of Snap’s years of technical efforts in display, optics, and computer vision, SPECS is designed for daily wear, aiming to seamlessly integrate digital computing into the real world through hardware innovation. In terms of hardware, the device uses high-performance Swiss TR90 polymer material, available in two sizes of 47mm and 52mm, with weights controlled at 132 grams and 136 grams respectively, and supports removable prescription lenses.On the underlying architecture, SPECS features a rare dual Snapdragon processor, one dedicated to high-speed gesture tracking for computer vision, and the other focused on running the AR application ecosystem. This dual-chip design combined with its proprietary Snap OS enables the device to achieve an ultra-low response delay as low as 7 milliseconds. Under comprehensive usage scenarios, SPECS has a battery life of up to 4 hours, and with a charging case, the total battery life can be extended to 20 hours, providing stable computing power for AI assistants, audio and video interactions, and Bluetooth notifications.With Snap OS undergoing 10 version updates over the past year and a half and unlocking more than 40 new APIs, developers have already injected hundreds of Lens applications. Industry analysis suggests that the launch of SPECS not only demonstrates Snap’s full-stack AR technology strength with over 7,000 patents but also confirms that in the trend of AI large models and multimodal interaction reshaping hardware, tech giants are accelerating from traditional screens to a more natural and human-centered “screenless” connection with the real world.
