Snapchat's Snap Spectacles introduce Augmented Reading Lenses in collaboration with Singapore's National Library Board. These AR glasses utilize real-time optical character recognition (OCR) and generative AI to pair visuals and soundscapes with printed text. As users read, the device recognizes text, activating relevant images and sound effects. The initiative aims to utilize technology to engage more readers. Beta-testing is set for 2025 in Singapore, where feedback will inform the public launch, promoting an innovative reading experience.
