The glasses are completely standalone, using a proprietary silicon liquid crystal display system for a 51-degree field of view and 16 million colors. Snap says the display is equivalent to a 24-inch monitor for work and a 115-inch home theater screen for movies. The frame uses lightweight Swiss TR90 polymer, available in 47mm and 52mm sizes weighing 132g and 136g respectively. Lenses are removable and support a wide range of prescriptions. Dual stereo speakers and microphones are built into the frame, and a magnetic 5-pin interface handles charging. Privacy features include indicator lights that activate during recording and permission management for third-party camera or microphone access. Pre-orders are open now on the official SPECS website, with shipping scheduled for fall 2026 in the United States, United Kingdom, and France.\u003c/p\u003e","blueskyPost":"Snap announced SPECS AR glasses at Augmented World Expo 2026.
