## Resource

Snap just dropped their $2,195 AR glasses, Specs, betting big on AI-driven augmented reality as the next tech frontier — but with a hefty price tag and $3.5 billion already spent, the move comes at a risky time amid fierce competition and investor pressure. While Meta’s Ray-Ban smartglasses offer basic features, Snap aims to deliver Vision Pro-level power in a lighter, wearable package. CEO claims Specs are a new kind of computer — custom-built for battery life and performance — hoping developers will flood the platform with creative AR apps, from history to golf, to make the pricey glasses worth it.
