Snap says new 'lightweight' AR glasses will come in 2026


Snap's next generation of standalone augmented reality glasses, called "Specs," will arrive next year and will be smaller, lighter and more powerful.

CEO Evan Spiegel announced the upcoming glasses, which will be called "Specs," during a keynote at Augmented World Expo (AWE). "It’s clear that today’s devices and user interfaces are woefully inadequate to realize the full potential of AI," the company wrote. And Snap today also announced new integrations with OpenAI and Google that allow developers to build multimodal lenses for Spectacles that can use the built-in cameras to react to the wearer's surroundings.
