What to know

Snap says its new Specs glasses run on two Qualcomm Snapdragon chips, so they do not need a separate compute puck or a cable to another device.

One chip helps the glasses understand the room and track your hands. The other runs Snap's AR apps, called Lenses, which place digital objects in the room around you. Snap has not said which exact chips it uses.
