Unlike screenless audio glasses, Specs place digital objects directly into your field of view through transparent waveguide lenses. CEO Evan Spiegel calls Specs "a way to use computing together in shared experiences in the real world, looking up through see-through lenses rather than at an opaque screen."
Snap's new Specs aren't a heads-up display that floats notifications in front of you, they're closer to a full VR headset you can wear in public, projecting spatial apps through lenses you can actually see the world through. Meta's current display glasses show 2D info like a ticker; Specs are built for apps that exist in three dimensions around you. Whether Snap can get developers to build for that is a separate problem, but the hardware ambition here is a clear step above what Meta's shipping today.
