The Unlikely Allure of Snap Specs: What Imogen Heap's Performance Reveals About AR's Future At a recent launch event, Snap unveiled its smart glasses, the Specs, which boast an innovative hands free navigation system and an "anticipatory AI" platform called Specs Intelligence.
The $2,195 price tag makes these glasses seem like a luxury item for early adopters. However, one performance at the launch event caught my attention: Imogen Heap's improvised creation using the Specs.
As an artist known for her experimentation with technology in music and art, Heap's involvement with Snap raises intriguing questions about the potential applications of augmented reality (AR) in creative fields.
