Gadget maker Inmo has recalled its Air3 augmented reality glasses after the US Consumer Product Safety Commission warned the left arm can overheat during extended use, posing a burn hazard. Health Canada issued a similar notice, telling consumers to stop use immediately and update firmware to version 3.16 before continuing to wear them. Over 1,600 units, priced between $900 and $1,300, have been sold in the US.
Snap is teaming up with Nvidia, Amazon Web Services and Salesforce to market its $2,195 Specs augmented reality glasses to businesses, aiming to position the device as a computing platform rather than a consumer camera accessory. CEO Evan Spiegel said the glasses could help field technicians view digital repair instructions and interact with coworkers, leveraging Nvidia's open-source XR AI platform. Snap also unveiled Specs Intelligence, an AI assistant working across the glasses, iPhones and Macs, with pricing still undetermined.
At a Los Angeles event, Snap revealed the full capabilities of its upcoming Specs augmented-reality glasses, which cost $2,195 and are set to ship this fall. The company also unveiled a new AI assistant designed to predict user intent across the glasses, phone, and laptop.
Snap allowed journalists to try its upcoming consumer AR glasses, called Specs, which will retail for $2,195 and launch this fall. The chunky, standalone glasses run without a phone or external battery and enable shared augmented reality experiences, such as two wearers playing a virtual game of dominoes together on a real table.
