In a world of AI glasses and VR headsets, Snap Specs are an ambitious (and chunky) meeting point of the two technologies — aiming to bring a generational leap in spatial computing.But as you well know, everybody has their own ideas of what this new form of wearable will be, and in the eyes of Even Realities CTO, Jian Ouyang, it’s a different, simpler, ambient computing platform that focuses on making sure the glasses look good first.The company’s G2 glasses have been my daily driver for a few months now, so when I got the time to sit down with him and Developer Relations head, Raag Harshavat, I wanted to get their thoughts on Snap’s radical rethink of smart glasses and also ask how things are going with the team gearing up for Even Realities G3.
