Technology
Snapchat's parent company just revealed Specs, its new AR glasses, priced at $2,195.
Announced at the Augmented World Expo in California, these are being called the first stand-alone AR specs for everyday use.
Pre-orders are open now, and they'll hit shelves this fall in the US UK and France.
Specs map surroundings with 3D overlays
Specs don't just show flat screens: they actually map your surroundings and layer 3D digital objects that interact with real life.
Snap's CEO Evan Spiegel says the goal is to make advanced AR more accessible without going full sci-fi headset.
With rivals like Meta and Apple in the mix, and after Snap's recent layoffs, the company is hoping these glasses will help it stand out in a crowded market.
