Snapchat is taking the next steps into AR wearables, with a new version of its Spectacles glasses that incorporate AR overlays on your field of vision.
Wearers will be able to control the new Spectacles experience via their mobile device:
“Through the new Spectacles app, you can use your phone as a custom game controller with Lenses, launch Spectator Mode so friends without Spectacles can follow along, mirror your phone screen, and more.”
Snap’s next generation Spectaces are powered by the new “Snap OS”, which will enable wearers to interact with Snap’s new AR experiences by using both their hands and voice. The latter element will also be helped by Snap’s expanded partnership with OpenAI, which, at this stage, will help developers new was to build AR experiences by using AI assistance.
