Snap used this week's SPECS launch to detail how it intends to bring its AR glasses into the workplace, announcing enterprise partnerships with Salesforce, Amazon Web Services, NVIDIA, Trifork and Hololight.
The announcements set out a hands-free computing pitch for field service, remote support and retail, spanning enterprise data, AI agents, remote expertise and 3D content.
Salesforce is bringing Agentforce to SPECS, according to Snap. The company said workers could use the glasses to identify what they are looking at, create a case, surface relevant information and update a workflow without moving to a separate screen.
Snap is also working with AWS to connect SPECS to Amazon Quick, AWS’s AI assistant for work. Its retail example sees an associate asking where a product is located or how much stock is available, with the answer appearing in the wearer’s field of view.
NVIDIA’s XR AI stack is intended to enable real-time guidance using a worker’s surroundings and relevant company data. Trifork’s Tandem platform connects onsite technicians with remote experts and AI agents, including visual annotations in the technician’s view. Hololight, meanwhile, is intended to give workers streamed access to documents, tools and 3D models through a spatial workstation.
“Most work does not happen at a desk,” Snap said. “It happens on a store floor, inside a factory, and in the field, where people need their hands free, their eyes up, and the right information within reach.”
Meta Connect Could Put Project Phoenix in the Spotlight
Meta Connect takes place on 23–24 September, with the company promising updates across AI, wearable technology and immersive experiences.
Project Phoenix, Meta’s reportedly lightweight mixed-reality headset, is expected to feature. Recent reports, including apparent images and animations found in Horizon OS firmware, point to a slim headset with a tethered compute and battery unit.
Meta has not confirmed Project Phoenix, its specifications or a release date. Earlier reporting suggested the device’s commercial release had moved to 2027, but Connect could provide the first substantial public look at Meta’s next mixed-reality hardware.
The event will be closely watched for signs of how Meta intends to position its next hardware generation across workplace, developer and prosumer use cases.
