There's nothing quite like seeing the fruits of your labour, and that sort of big cathartic moment was probably what Snap was hoping for when it finally unveiled its full-on augmented reality glasses this week – Specs. While those who've seen them in person seem impressed by the build quality, I have to admit that my first thought on checking out the reveal is to remain extremely sceptical.
By all accounts, and according to T3's own impressions of earlier prototypes of the AR glasses tech that Snap has been working on for years now, the usability and UI of the Specs are likely to both be big hits. Snap's taken the time to do the groundwork and ensure that its underlying tech is really impressive, and it sounds responsive and slick.
