AR Hardware

Overview

Snap Inc.'s fifth-generation Spectacles are standalone augmented reality (AR) glasses running on Snap OS. They have see-through lenses that overlay digital content onto the real world, allowing users to interact with AR without needing a smartphone. Updates have added GPS support for location-based AR, improved hand tracking, and a virtual keyboard for direct interaction with digital elements.
