Snap plans to release AR glasses, called Specs, in 2026, aiming to integrate digital and real-world experiences without needing a smartphone. The glasses, which will be lighter and more powerful than previous developer versions, will use AI from Google and OpenAI to overlay virtual objects and offer immersive experiences like shared games and browsing. Snap CEO Evan Spiegel envisions these glasses as a revolution in computing, though success hinges on factors like battery life and affordability.
