Snap's AR Spectacles Aren't as Fancy as Meta's Orion—but at Least You Can Get Them

Quick Summary:

Augmented reality glasses still have a long way to go, but Snap’s latest Spectacles—which are now available to developers—already have some real-world utility.

Snap is also aiming its marketing at its core users, eager to eventually ease out of the development phase and reach a wider audience that want to connect with friends and use the glasses for creative collaboration.

But there are no procedures in place on the Spectacles now that send a pop up warning when something is in the way, or prevent people from using the glasses while driving or operating heavy machinery.
