Snap just dropped their fifth-generation AR glasses, called Spectacles. They’re powered by a new AI system called Snap OS, which lets you interact with your own personal AI assistant, try out cool AR lenses, and even create 3D experiences.

The glasses are packed with cameras and sensors, letting them understand your surroundings and move with you. They’re also super lightweight and compact.
Snapchat also added some cool new tools for video and image creation, letting you turn a single photo into a video or image with AI.
Woah. Snapchat just launched an AI video generator!

These glasses are available now for developers, but you’ll need to pay a monthly subscription to use them. You can check out more at Spectacles.
It’s a big step forward for AR and AI, but the battery life and field of view could use some work. Still, it’s exciting to see what Snap can do with these glasses in the future.
