Thank you @Snapdragon for pushing the boundaries of XR forward into the future!

Snap officially introduced SPECS, its new augmented reality glasses, at Augmented World Expo 2026 and opened pre-orders the same day. They are fully standalone, use Snap’s own display and waveguide tech, and are priced at $2,195 with a $200 refundable deposit. What they are SPECS are designed as lightweight AR glasses for everyday use rather than a bulky headset. Snap says they are meant to bring AI assistance, work tools, entertainment, and shared experiences into the world around you while keeping you present. Hardware design Snap says SPECS come in two sizes, weigh 132 grams for the 47 mm version and 136 grams for the 52 mm version, and support prescription inserts. They are made from Swiss TR90 polymer and are fully standalone, with no tether or external puck. The display system uses Snap’s liquid crystal on silicon technology, with a 51-degree field of view and 16 million colors. Snap says the visual experience is like a 24-inch desktop monitor for work or a 115-inch cinema screen at about 10 feet for video. Core capabilities Snap says SPECS are powered by two Snapdragon processors, one for computer vision and one for running Lenses. That setup supports fast hand tracking, low latency, and real-world-anchored digital overlays. Battery life is listed at up to four hours of mixed use, with a charging case that adds four more charges for up to 20 total hours of mixed use. Get yours now!

Flat games with VR (hybrid) adaptations may be a new attractive genre for VR developers particularly when sales are a concern. This genre will favor developments on the PSVR/PCVR platform over the strict VR only Meta Horizon platform—a buckle up call for @MetaQuestVR to not abandon VR gaming industry.

Virtual boy VR games from Nintendo. Here we go!

The upcoming Quest Puffin (Phoenix) would be able to achieve this feat!

If cataracts surgery can be performed optimally using the Vision Pro, I what the upcoming Quest puffin/phoenix headset would be capable of!

Augmented reality and AI are being used in spine surgery to give surgeons real-time, 3D guidance over the patient’s anatomy, which can improve precision and visualization during procedures. The core idea is to overlay pre-op imaging and navigation data onto the surgical field so the surgeon can “see through” tissue, place implants more accurately, and reduce distraction.

Practical use case for extended reality real life simulations. Best evolving technology.

Using VR for pain and anxiety management should be further explored in healthcare settings.
