Snap plans to sell lightweight, consumer AR glasses in 2026


Snap is back with a pair of lightweight, AR smart glasses. For the first time in years, the company wants to sell them to consumers.

The company plans to sell these new glasses, called Specs, to consumers starting in 2026, CEO Evan Spiegel announced on Tuesday during the Augmented World Expo in Long Beach, California. Another app Spiegel showcased, “Cookmate,” finds recipes based on available ingredients in a user’s kitchen, and then offers step-by-step cooking guidance. To enable more AI apps, the company announced a “Depth Module API” that will anchor AR graphics from large language models in three-dimensional space.
