Snap to Unveil Its AR Glasses at September 16 Event

The company is set to present a comprehensive overview of the $2,195 eyewear.
Snap is preparing to release its new augmented reality glasses to the market and is hosting an event to provide details about these innovative Specs. Scheduled for September 16 at 7 PM ET in Los Angeles, the event will also be available for livestream viewing.
During the presentation, Snap’s CEO Evan Spiegel will showcase how these glasses integrate AI support, productivity tools, entertainment, and interactive experiences into daily life. The goal is to facilitate creativity, connection, learning, and task completion while keeping users engaged in their surroundings.
Priced at $2,195, Specs have been available for pre-order since last month and are anticipated to ship to customers in the US, UK, and France later this fall, with exact dates to be revealed during the event.
Specs will be offered in two sizes: 47mm and a larger 52mm. The battery is designed for up to four hours of mixed usage. Equipped with a built-in browser and AI capabilities through partnerships with OpenAI and Google, the glasses will also support hundreds of AR applications, including various games. Notably, the thick arms of the Specs contain two Qualcomm Snapdragon processors—one dedicated to computer vision and the other for AR functionalities.
