What are AR glasses?
Augmented Reality (AR) glasses, like Snap's new Specs, overlay digital information onto the real world you see. Unlike Virtual Reality (VR) which creates entirely immersive digital environments, AR blends the two. Imagine seeing directions appear on the pavement in front of you, or virtual screens floating in your living room, all through your glasses.
