Snap Partners Qualcomm for New AI Glasses

Snapchat's parent company, Snap, is advancing its AI-powered Spectacles with a new strategic partnership with Qualcomm. This collaboration will leverage Qualcomm's Snapdragon XR platforms to power the upcoming wearable devices, focusing on on-device AI capabilities, advanced graphics, and enhanced multi-user digital experiences. This move signals renewed momentum for the Spectacles project, which has been in development for over a decade and recently saw a corporate restructuring to focus specifically on this venture. The partnership aims to push the boundaries of augmented reality technology for both developers and consumers.
