    Snap's new standalone AR glasses bring OpenAI outside

    Snap just unveiled its next-gen AR Spectacles, packing dual Qualcomm chips, hand tracking, and OpenAI multimodal integration into a standalone headset. The glasses feature auto-dimming lenses for outdoor use and run their own Snap OS without tethering to a phone. Why it matters: While consumer AR is still far off with a 45-minute battery life, Snap is beating Apple and Meta to outdoor camera-enabled AI by leasing the kit for $99 a month.
