Former Snap Spectacles engineer says the new glasses are ‘obviously bad’
A dev that worked on the AR glasses says they’re a “disaster.”
“I worked on these for about a year at Snap, and I have a million negative things to say about the experience and the device, but I think the product speaks for itself and is obviously bad,” Crispin said on X in response to the new Spectacles being unveiled. While Crispin noted that AR and VR devices all face conflicting limitations around things like size, weight, performance, battery life, and production scale, he criticized the balance of features offered by Snap’s new Spectacles — but didn’t scrutinize any specific elements of the gadget. Meanwhile, people online across Reddit and X have been poking fun at the device’s limited 45-minute battery life and 46-degree field of view (up from 30 minutes and 26.3 degrees on the previous model.)
