When I first encountered a pair of Snap Spectacles around eight or so years ago, they featured little more than a camera set into the frame. It could take photos and video, which were sent to your phone for posting on, well, Snapchat, but little else.
There were no augmented or mixed reality capabilities – not even the audio-centric talents sported by the Ray-Ban Meta glasses today – and as they also featured bright yellow circles around each lens, I, like many others, dismissed them as a gimmick.
