According to the manufacturer, the system used by the glasses can display information the size of a 24-inch monitor during work functions. And, when watching movies, it can simulate a 115-inch screen.
Specs also feature a system capable of changing clear lenses to dark lenses in just 10 seconds.
"All design decisions came from the same idea: technology should feel natural. Specs were not designed to replace the real world, but to help people interact with it," Snap said in a statement.
