Snap Specs Hands On: Standalone AR Glasses Are Here
The $2,195 glasses are Snap's biggest AR bet yet.
Karissa Bell for Engadget
Snap has been experimenting with glasses for a decade and AR-enabled frames for the last five years. I've tried every pair, and it's always been clear that the company was working towards something bigger. Specs, the company's first consumer-ready AR glasses are exactly that.
The $2,195 glasses are able to replicate much of the functionality of a mixed reality headset without a separate puck, controller or tethered connection. But that also comes with some trade-offs, like the size. But after trying out Specs for myself, I think there's a lot to like. The operating system feels more polished than previous versions, and Snap has more apps that feel like they would actually be useful. But I still have a lot of questions about the product and who it's ultimately for.
Look and fit
