SPS 2021: Introducing the Next Generation of Spectacles

Today we’re introducing the next generation of Spectacles, our first pair of glasses that bring augmented reality to life. They’re lightweight display glasses, made for creators to overlay their Lenses directly onto the world, exploring new ways to fuse fun and utility through immersive AR.

Over the years, our journey building Spectacles alongside the creator community has been one of exploration, learning, and fun. We’ve used every iteration as a building block, opening the door to a whole new dimension of AR.

Spectacles aren’t for sale—they’re for augmented reality creators to reimagine the way we communicate, live, and explore the world together through AR experiences built in Lens Studio.

Features
Spectacles tap into our human senses of sight, touch, and sound to bring Lenses to life. Dual 3D waveguide displays and a 26.3 degree field of view overlay Lenses on the world, right before your eyes. Powered by our new Snap Spatial Engine that leverages six degrees of freedom and hand, marker, and surface tracking, Spectacles realistically overlay creators’ imaginations on the world in a new way.

Lenses react quickly and appear accurately in your field of view with 15 millisecond motion to photon latency, and the display dynamically adjusts up to 2000 Nits of brightness to explore AR indoors or outside. Spectacles feature 2 RGB cameras, 4 built-in microphones, 2 stereo speakers, and a touchpad to provide a multi-sensorial experience.

Spectacles weigh just 134 grams, so creators can bring AR anywhere for approximately 30 minutes per charge. The Qualcomm Snapdragon XR1 Platform unlocks the maximum processing power within Spectacles’ lightweight, wearable design.

Functionality
Spectacles are fully integrated with Lens Studio, our powerful desktop application designed for creators and developers to build and publish Lenses across our Snap AR platform. Through Lens Studio, creators can wirelessly push Lenses to Spectacles for rapid testing and iteration, in real time.

The temple’s touchpad helps creators interact with the Spectacles display and launches the Lens Carousel. The right button activates Scan, understanding what’s in the field of view and suggesting relevant Lenses based on the world around you. Voice Scan also empowers creators to say a command to launch Lenses, completely hands-free. The left button captures 10-second Snaps of Lenses overlaid on the world, so creators can send Snaps right from Spectacles.

Ray-Ban Stories are available in 20 variations, in classic Ray-Ban styles — Wayfarer, Wayfarer Large, Round and Meteor — and five colors with a range of lenses including clear, sun, transition and prescription, so you can choose the style that’s right for you.

Sony 8K VR prototype:

"OLED Microdisplay and low latency head mount display”

This is a virtual reality (VR) head-mounted display (HMD) that projects a high-definition 3D space and achieves a high-resolution of 4K with one eye and 8K with both eyes. High image quality is achieved through multi-pixel and miniaturization using fine processing and advanced packaging technology cultivated through the development and manufacture of CMOS image sensors, and Organic Light Emitting Diode (OLED) microdisplay using device and circuit technology cultivated through the development of displays.

The processing time is reduced by decreasing the amount of latency throughout the entire system thanks to the integration of data from multiple sensors. The person watching in VR can experience high-definition images in real time according to the movement of his/her head. In addition to industrial applications, the OLED microdisplay is expected to be used in the entertainment field, as it can express the texture of materials and human expressions in high-definition in real time based on movements of the viewer’s head.

Hai că a venit Apple și le-a dat o lecție la toți. Expensive as hell, but daaaaamn! Asta chiar va schimba lucrurile.

Am redenumit ca sa le cuprinda pe toate.

Desigur, puteti accesa dedicatele pentru Meta si Apple:
- VR - Meta - Oculus Rift, Go, Rift S, Quest 3, Pro
- Clubul Apple Vision Pro & visionOS

[ExocrathX5]

Cred că deși prețul e piperat e primul produs VR/AR pe care chiar l-aș cumpăra. Apple chiar au ridicat standardele și sunt sigur că toți îl vor urma. Peste câțiva ani vor deveni din ce în ce mai accesibile și peste 10-15 ani poate va fi chiar norma să umbli cu device-uri asemănătoare.

Curios totuși la noi în România cât va fi adaosul din partea magazinelor.

[Antiohh]

Avand in vedere ca e ,,before taxes,, , cel mai probabil va costa in jur de 4100-4200 euro in Europa

[MonkY]

Curios totuși la noi în România cât va fi adaosul din partea magazinelor.

E foarte posibil ca în România, unde nu avem Apple Store, să nu se lanseze niciodată, așa că ne facem griji degeaba.
