These innovative glasses will provide augmented reality experiences, including shared games and a portable workstation for browsing and streaming.

Powered by Qualcomm's Snapdragon, the new Specs leverage machine learning to enhance user interaction and offer daily assistance.

Snap is enhancing the Specs' AI capabilities through collaborations with OpenAI and Google Gemini, enabling developers to create multi-modal AI-powered Lenses.

New APIs, such as the Depth Module and Automated Speech Recognition, have been introduced to help developers create richer experiences with the Specs.

Those interested in developing for Specs can join Snap's developer program ahead of the official launch.

Examples of practical AI applications for the Specs include text translation, currency conversion, and recipe suggestions, enhancing their usability.

The Depth Module API improves spatial intelligence for AR applications, while the Automated Speech Recognition API enables accurate real-time transcription in over 40 languages.

Developers can now create location-based experiences and manage multiple pairs of Specs using new tools, including a fleet management app and guided navigation for AR.

While the fifth-generation Specs offered a realistic AR experience, user feedback highlighted weight as a drawback, leading to this new design update.

At the Augmented World Exhibition (AWE) 2025, Snap unveiled its next-generation Specs AR glasses, featuring a lighter design and advanced AI capabilities.

The previous generation of Spectacles was released in 2024 for developers, while the public launch of the new Specs is anticipated in 2026.
