What are Specs and what sets them apart?
Specs are lightweight glasses that combine spatial computing, AI, and an immersive design. They will operate independently, with no need for smartphones or other external devices.
Snap promotes them as "the world's most advanced personal computer." The goal is to deliver high-quality immersive AR experiences designed for both leisure and work.
A step forward in augmented reality
They integrate an ultra-powerful portable computer.
They project digital layers onto the real environment.
They allow users to share content and work in real time.
Su diseño apunta a ser más cercano al de los Meta Ray-Ban
This move by Snap seeks to fully enter a market previously led by Apple, Meta, and Google. With Specs, the company aims to democratize immersive technology with a comfortable and functional format.
The features of the new Specs
Among the standout features is AI assistance in three-dimensional environments. They can also be used as a workstation for browsing, streaming content, and performing complex tasks.

Additionally, their design was created to maintain user privacy and facilitate smooth interaction between the physical and digital worlds. Specs will offer an immersive experience without sacrificing comfort.
This is what the Spectacles launched in 2024 are like
Spectacles 5 are transparent augmented reality glasses designed for developers. With them, Snap sought to improve the way people connect, create, and share experiences.
They run on Snap OS, a proprietary operating system, and allow users to use their smartphone as a controller or secondary display. Their weight of just 226 grams (0.5 pounds) makes them a much more comfortable option compared to traditional headsets.
