Snap CEO Evan Spiegel revealed the new glasses at an event during the Augmented World Expo (AWE) tech conference in Long Beach, California. As Snap frames it, this isn’t a prototype or developer device—it’s the first actual consumer version of the Specs AR glasses, unlike the previous generation exclusively sold to developers and creators.
The Specs cost $2,195. You can preorder them now with a refundable $220 deposit. Snap says it expects the devices to ship this fall in the US, UK, and France.
