Until everyone can be on mushrooms all the time, there's Spectacles. 🍄🤩🍄
To get your specs:Apply to join the Spectacles Developer Program to build, play, and test with Spectacles.A subscription includes the use of one Spectacles device and is $99 plus tax per month with a 12 month commitment required (available with a monthly or annual billing option). Currently available in the United States only. Limited Availability.
@chrismessina, just think of people on both mushrooms and spectacles, truly out of the world experience. Great job, when are you planning to ship beyond USA?
No shade but tbh these look like 3D glasses from the 00s. But maybe they're so awkward they're cool.
I'd love to try them regardless. Glad to see Snap exploring new hardware interfaces.

I like the cheeky intro about mushrooms lol. The subscription model for Spectacles is interesting. $99/month ain't cheap, but I guess that's the price for cutting-edge AR tech. Curious to see what devs come up with using these. Chris, you always hunt the coolest gadgets!
The new Spectacles from Snap are an exciting leap forward in AR technology with their compact design and vibrant display!

This is a really funky design. Maybe a bit too funky really. I'm not big fan of AR but I would love to try it out and see what it does.

This looks super interesting! Love the idea of bringing Spectacles to the dev community. Definitely gonna try it out. The $99/month is a bit steep, but hey, if it delivers, I’m in! Congrats on the launch.

These new Spectacles look pretty cool! I'm curious about the battery life and how comfortable they are for extended wear. It'd be awesome if they could integrate with more third-party apps to expand their functionality. Also, any plans for prescription lens options? That could really open up the market for everyday AR use.

@andyroamer You can get up to 45 minutes of continuous runtime. If your workflow has you at your desk iterating on a Lens, you can connect them and get unlimited runtime. Their weight is evenly distributed due to their symmetric dual SoC design. Lens Studio makes it very easy to build new Lenses and there are a variety of APIs to enable integrations with external services. Yes, you can get prescription inserts which can be purchased from a 3rd party provider. With more than 25 Lenses out the box including a browser, phone mirroring, and much more.
