Snap Unveils Specs Smart Glasses at AWE 2026

All right, let's go. Introducing Specs, a new kind of computer designed for real life and built into see-through glasses. And they're just gorgeous. Let's start from the moment that you put them on. Specs are made from high performance Swiss TR90 polymer. We call it plastic titanium, light enough to be worn for hours. And that matters because if a computer is going to be part of everyday life, it has to feel natural. And specs come in two sizes. The 47 millimeter frame weighs just 132 grams and the 52 mm frame weighs 136 g. And they support a wide range of prescriptions that can be inserted and removed so you can see clearly and easily share your specs with friends and family. Now, let's talk about what you can see through specs. Specs feature a new proprietary optical engine with a liquid crystal on silicon display that delivers one of the richest and most immersive visual experiences today. And the glass that carries light from the display to your eyes is called the waveguide. And our new waveguide uses billions of invisibly small nanostructures. So small that more than 10,000 can fit on the tip of a single hair. And they guide light exactly where it needs to go, creating a big bright image and an immersive 51 degree field of view. And that's equivalent to a 24-inch desktop display or a 5-inch home cinema screen placed about 10 ft away. And you get 16 million colors for sharper contrast and richer, smoother visuals. Now, check this out. Specs use the same advanced technology found in Boeing 787 Dreamliner windows. And the electrochromic lenses gently shift from clear to tinted in just 10 seconds. And across the full optical stack, we've driven a nearly 35% increase in transparency so you can see the world clearly and crisply through the waveguide. And that matters because specs are not designed to replace the world. They're designed to bring computing into it. For digital content to feel real, specs have to understand the world and respond instantly. So specs use two Snapdragon processors, one for computer vision and one dedicated to running lenses. And together this efficient architecture powers the advanced capabilities of specs. It enables high-speed hand tracking with lower latency and lower power consumption. So interactions feel more natural. Digital content feels grounded and battery life goes further. And verified by advanced robotic measurement systems, specs deliver a truly remarkable 7 millisecond motion to photon latency.
