Spectacles (5th generation)Released Sep 2024PreviousWhat to know
Snap Specs use see-through waveguides in the lenses, Snap says. A waveguide is a clear layer in the lens that shows digital images on top of what you see.
Snap says the picture covers 51 degrees, measured corner to corner. It has also described lenses that darken and prescription inserts you can take out.
What this is made of
The display covers 51 degrees, about a 24-inch monitor up close
Snap’s 51° field of view is equivalent to working on a 24-inch monitor up close or watching a 115-inch TV from about 10 feet away, according to Snap.
Right
The lenses darken electronically in about ten seconds
Specs use electrochromic lenses that shift from clear to tinted in about 10 seconds, electronically rather than by reacting to UV light.
Right
Prescription inserts clip in and out
Snap supports prescription lens inserts that clip into the glasses without replacing the waveguide optics. Multiple nose pad sizes help fine-tune the fit.
