Snap Inc. has unveiled “Specs,” a pair of augmented reality glasses priced at $2,195. The company frames the device as a significant step toward bringing computing into everyday life, with Snap co-founder and CEO Evan Spiegel calling it a “computer of the future.” According to outlets covering the announcement, Specs uses advanced display and camera systems to overlay digital content onto the real world through transparent lenses. The glasses are presented as capable of running apps and third-party software, enabling users to play games and receive notifications that appear anchored to their surroundings. Spiegel also describes the project as long in development, saying Snap has worked on the device for more than 12 years. While the coverage focuses on the product vision and capabilities, the reporting centers on the company’s messaging around AR glasses as a new computing platform rather than on pricing changes, availability details, or competitive comparisons. Overall, all sources agree on the core facts of the launch, the price point, and the device’s AR functionality and positioning.
