Spectacles
Spectacles makes a wearable computer built into a pair of see-through glasses powered by Snap OS 2.0, which overlays computing directly on the world around you and empowers you to look up and get things done, hands free. The company provides tools, resources, and a network for developers worldwide to turn your ideas into reality by creating, launching, and scaling experiences on Spectacles, and serves consumers with a consumer debut of Specs in 2026, enabling users to interact with digital objects using voice, gesture, and touch.
