Snap Launches $2,195 SPECS AR Glasses at AWE 2026 with Claude Code and Codex

Snap launched the SPECS augmented reality glasses at $2,195 during AWE 2026 (Augmented World Expo), positioning itself at the intersection of AR and AI-assisted development.

The glasses feature native integration with Claude Code and Codex, letting developers visualize and interact with code in augmented reality — a significant step toward immersive development environments.

This is Snap’s most ambitious hardware launch since the original Spectacles. The company is betting that AR will be computing’s next frontier, and AI developers will be among the first to adopt the platform.

At $2,195, the SPECS compete directly with the Apple Vision Pro in a more portable, productivity-focused form factor rather than immersive entertainment.
