Snap’s Push into AR Glasses
Snap is advancing towards launching its AR smart glasses, aiming to secure the ‘Spectacles’ trademark, a name that represents their cutting-edge device plans. After initial setbacks due to its generic nature as identified by the USPTO in 2020, Snap is now making headway in the trademark battle.
The latest updates highlight a positive development with a Californian federal judge supporting Snap’s stance that ‘Spectacles’ can be a trademark. This encourages the USPTO to reconsider if Snap can prove brand association with this term.
CEO’s Vision: Pioneering AR Experience
Evan Spiegel, CEO of Snap, shared insights into Spectacles reaching its 5th generation stage, crafted for AR content creators. These devices aim to integrate new immersive experiences, steering AR glasses into the mainstream, responding to the industry’s evolving needs.
“A unique moment where both consumers and developers are eager for innovation,” Spiegel emphasized while discussing the new gesture and voice-operated AR system in Spectacles.
Amid the screen fatigue and challenges of smartphone-based development, Snap’s smart glasses are positioned as a refreshing alternative, leading to potential growth in the AR ecosystem at a competitive pricing model.
Navigating the Competitive Landscape
Spiegel’s comments on Meta and Apple’s AR endeavors sparked industry debates, given existing products like Meta’s Ray-Ban Stories and prominent players like XREAL and Vuzix leading AR developments. Snap’s Spectacles cater specifically to developers, ensuring it remains competitive amidst diverse AR device offerings.
Though the AR market faces intense competition, Snap’s journey reflects strategic steps in innovation and market positioning. With looming entrants like LG and Samsung, the future landscape promises further evolution of wearables.
Despite past hurdles, Snap continues its quest to lead in AR smart glasses, fueled by enthusiasm and a strategic focus on a developer-first approach.
