SUMMARY
Snap co-founder Evan Spiegel has launched 'Specs', a new generation of camera glasses that differ from previous iterations and competitors like Meta. While Specs feature a camera capable of 3D perception and capturing images for Snapchat, Spiegel emphasizes their ability to 'understand the world without recording it.' The glasses are designed to be visibly large, deterring covert use, and include a flashing LED indicator. Priced at $2,195, they offer an AI helper and a 4-hour battery life, with a charging case for extended use. Specs will begin shipping this fall, with public demos starting soon.
