Snap to launch smaller, lighter augmented reality Specs smartglasses in 2026

  • Snap on Tuesday announced its plans to release a sixth-generation of its augmented reality glasses in 2026, as competition in the smart glasses market continues to heat up.  The maker of Snapchat said that its next-generation glasses will be called Specs, breaking with the company's Spectacles branding that it used for previous versions of its wearable devices.
