Snapping On Tuesday, his plans for the publication of a sixth generation of his augmented reality glasses announced in 2026, since the competition on the Smart Gläses market continues to be heated.
The manufacturer of Snapchat said that the next generation glasses are called specifications and are broken with the branding of the company that used it for earlier versions of its portable devices. The specifications will use AR technology to see people in digital pictures and to interact with them that are overlaid for the physical world.
Snap revealed no price or a precise start date for specifications, but the new glasses will be smaller and lighter than its predecessors, said the company. Snaps recent glasses were only published in September 2024 to developers. This edition of the glasses was available as part of a leasing model, in which users had to pay 99 US dollars a month for a whole year.
The technical data geared towards the consumer are carried out on the company's SNAP OS operating systems. SNAP said that developers will be able to include Google Gemini Ai models in programs that you develop for smart glasses so that coders can give more AI options to choose from if you write software for the device. Before that, developers could only use the GPT family of AI models from Openai to create AR -apps for intelligent glasses.
“We could not enjoy the extraordinary progress in artificial intelligence and augmented reality, which enables new, human -centered computer experiences,” said Evan Spiegel, CEO from SNAP.
When Snap launched its first glasses in 2016, the Wearable of 130 US dollars was limited to simple functions that help users record short videos that they could post for Snapchat. The company updated its glasses in 2021 with augmented reality displays that enabled users to see virtual images that overlaid the glasses about what users saw in the real world.
Since then, the competition in the world of the computers' head has grown.
Apple began in February 2024 with the sale of his 3,500 dollars -vision -Pro protection glasses for sale Meta Now a number of state-of-the-art products, including Quest-VR headsets, Ray-Ban-Meta-Smartglass and the experimental project Orion AR glasses, which the social media company showed last autumn.
In the meantime, Google announced its own entry into the room in May when it revealed a partnership of 150 million US dollars with Warby Parker, which said that it would publish its own intelligent glasses at some point after this year.
