Summary
Snap has unveiled its new AR glasses called Specs, priced at $2,195 per pair. The device represents the culmination of a decade-long investment into wearable computers combining AI and AR. Following the failure of the 2016 Spectacles (which only captured photos/videos), CEO Evan Spiegel is betting on these new glasses to revolutionize personal tech. However, experts express skepticism about their success, noting they face challenges in providing behavior-shifting convenience that can compete with both smartphones and rival AI glasses from competitors.
