How Snapchat Is Getting A Head Start On An AR Future

There have been enough teasers of the next generation of Snap’s Spectacles to make some shoppers eager. However, ongoing delays might lead to disappointment and doubt that they’ll ever arrive. After all, the first version of Spectacles was released in 2016, the second in 2018, and the third in 2019. Now three years have passed with no updates available to the public.
That’s because the ‘New’ Spectacles are only available to a few hundred developers and creators that have applied to be testers of this new technology that’s not quite ready for everyday users. This is the first sunglasses-like device from Snap with AR capabilities that currently require an iPhone or Android phone. Fitting that much technology into a pair of lightweight AR glasses that lasts for several hours and is robust and reliable enough for the average user is still a few years away. In the meantime, Snapchat is busily working on AR content and experiences to be ready for the fun and exciting future that’s yet to arrive.
