About Spectacles (2021)

The next generation Spectacles are our first augmented reality display glasses that bring augmented reality to life. Tap into the expansive Snap ecosystem, using visual and audio search to surface thousands of World Lenses, to overlay computing on the world around you.Product_Front_Spectacles2021.png

With dual 3D waveguide displays and a 26.3 degree diagonal field of view, immersive AR Lenses are overlaid on the world in front of you. 

Powered by our Snap Spatial Engine, which leverages six degrees of freedom, hand, marker, and surface tracking, Spectacles realistically bring your creations to life. With 15 millisecond motion to photon latency, Lenses are grounded in the physical world.

With the new Spectacles, there are no strings attached, literally. No cords, controllers, or battery packs are required, so you are free to explore, capture, and create from anywhere. The display dynamically adjusts, shining up to 2000 Nits of brightness so you can use them indoors or outside.  Plus, stereo display and two speakers create a full, immersive sensorial Lens experience.

2 RGB Cameras, 4 microphones, Stereo Display, and Spatial Audio, are redefining how you experience AR. These tools give you the ability to tinker, experiment, build, and play, pushing the boundaries of wearable AR.

Also included a Charging Case which allows you to recharge your new Spectacles on the go, and a USB charging cable which can quick charge your Case or new Spectacles directly.Product_CaseSolo_Spectacles2021.png

With the next generation Spectacles wireless technology, you can push your Lens Studio creations directly to the glasses and test instantly.

Explore the world together by sharing your Snaps in real-time, right from your new Spectacles.
