Snapchat introduces Spectacles with built-in AR

SNAP, the company behind Snapchat, has just recently introduced its augmented reality-powered spectacles which are said to have the ability to ‘realistically ground digital objects in the physical world’. The product was unveiled by CEO Evan Spiegel at the company’s annual Partner Summit event.

These glasses consist of two cameras, four microphones, two stereo speakers, and touchpad controls. Through the ‘dual 3D waveguide displays’ users are able to view and interact with AR elements. Moreover, the glasses also connect directly to Snap’s AR Lenses and its Lens Studio platform.
