So, we have gone three versions of Snapchat Spectacles now the Social Media Platform giants has a new pair coming that are real AR-glasses. This news was announced by Snapchat’s developer-focused keynote on Thursday. These glasses will bring a change to the 3D world, and these glasses can display 3D effects in the real world. The 3D glasses are wireless and have hand tracking, and these glasses are currently aimed especially at developers and creators who will use these glasses to explore AR creations on headsets. For now, no price is listed for them.
Snapchat has teased a working full-featured pair of augmented glasses for a while now. These are some things many companies like Facebook, Niantic, and Qualcomm are trying to crack so they can have their everyday smart glasses. Snapchat previous version of glasses was mainly focused on wearable camera glasses. The last Year’s Spectacles 3 will bring a new version of layer glasses footage with 3D AR effects. There is one simple thing that you have to keep in mind that the AR needs to be seen and shared via a Phone app: The glasses didn’t have their displays.
The glasses have a specification like 2000 nits of brightness, have a diagonal field view of 26.3-inch, and dual waveguide displays. They also have a touchpad control on the side, and they look like thin sunglasses. These Sunglasses use a “Snap Spatial Engine” and have hand-tracking, and can track the world with 6 degrees of freedom and weighs about 134 grams (4.7 ounces). This is what Snapchat has released.
Another interesting feature that you have to know about: That they are wireless which either AR glasses this size hasn’t achieved yet. But there are other trades off too. The glasses only last for 30 minutes on a charge according to Snapchat officials, according to Snapchat specs, and have a limited 480×564 pixel resolution for each eye. The glasses have their charging case, and it sounds like you have to have it.
The glasses later will launch AR camera effects called lenses in glasses and be used to play AR games. The field of view is a little smaller than the AR headsets like the Microsoft HoloLens and also Magic Leap but also much smaller. The glasses can also capture video with two RGB cameras with a 115- degree field of view at 1920×1440 pixels and 30 frames per second.
Snap has been doing the work with a limited set of creators to build concepts and Lenses according to the company’s keynote. The release date and price aren’t known yet.
What Someone who’s used it thinks so far
We got reviews from some people who go the AR earlier version glasses from Snapchat at the beginning to find out how it is working so far. Some things that work for most people straight away that these glasses can tap into lenses and AR tools that are already being used by the independent creators on Snapchat, which is a lot different than the more siloed and limited ways the HoloLens and Magic Leap initially approached their hardware’s.
“Snaps made it easy that you don’t have to change your workflow: You just have to do two simple things just put on your glasses and hit one button and your vision is realized in front of you which is just so simple and cool.” We are sure you will enjoy it. Another reviewer said the two areas of health and wellness are the two that impress the most.
Conclusion:
So, Snapchat is releasing its AR glasses, and here are some things you have to know about them. Hope you find this information useful. Thank you for the read.
