- Snap has announced its fifth-generation Spectacles, featuring augmented reality capabilities.
- The new glasses feature a chunky design compared to the brand’s non-AR glasses.
- The fifth-generation Spectacles are available to developers for $99 a month.
Snap has offered smart glasses for a while now, letting you record video for Snapchat. The company previously launched augmented reality (AR) glasses a few years ago, and it’s now launched a new pair of Snapchat Spectacles with AR capabilities.
Snapchat announced the fifth-generation Spectacles at its Snap Partner Summit, and these are chunky glasses with a huge frame and thick arms. This thicker design accommodates two Snapdragon processors, vapor chamber cooling, and four cameras to power the screen and hand tracking. Either way, this is more conspicuous than the Ray-Ban Meta glasses and the firm’s previous Spectacles.
