On September 16, Snap gave the first full public showing of its Specs augmented reality glasses at a launch event in Los Angeles. Alongside the consumer announcements, Snap named the companies bringing workplace software to the device.
Hololight was one of them. Co-founder and Managing Director Florian Haspinger and Philipp Landgraf, Senior Director XR Streaming, were in the room for the announcement.

Snap's named enterprise partners at launch
| Partner | What Snap said it brings to Specs | Where it applies |
|---|---|---|
| Salesforce | Agentforce on the glasses, so workers can identify what they see, open cases and update workflows | Field service, retail |
| Amazon Web Services | A connection to the Amazon Quick assistant for querying stock and product data by voice | Retail, operations |
| NVIDIA | Agents built on its XR AI stack, linking what a worker sees to company data and guidance | Guided work |
| Trifork | Tandem, which lets a remote expert see and annotate a technician's field of view | Field service |
| Hololight | Streaming of tools, documents and 3D models to create a complete spatial work environment | Engineering, design, manufacturing |
The event was the first detailed public look at Specs since the June reveal. Snap introduced Specs Intelligence, an AI service that runs across the glasses, iPhone and Mac.
The larger shift was in positioning. Snap presented Specs as a computer rather than a camera accessory, and set out an enterprise case alongside the consumer one. Coverage put the price at $2,195 and shipping expected later this fall in the United States, United Kingdom and France.
Snap described Hololight's role on stage:
"Hololight turns Specs into a spatial workstation using video streaming to give employees access to the tools, documents, and 3D models they need wherever they are."
– Evan Spiegel, Co-Founder and CEO at Snap Inc.
The application keeps running where it already does, on hardware the organization already operates. Hololight's XR pixel streaming technology sends the rendered pixels to the glasses, so the frame carries the display rather than the workload. That is what makes a full engineering model viewable on a device this light.
The relationship is not new. Hololight and Snap have worked together since the previous generation of Snap's AR glasses, where customers run streamed applications today.
We looked at what the current generation of smart glasses does well, which industrial jobs it suits, and what has to sit behind it, in our guide to smart glasses for business.
Enterprise XR has largely meant a scheduled session in a dedicated headset. Glasses comfortable enough for a working day widen what else belongs in that session.
A browser, a document and a full-scale model can sit in the same space. That covers the ordinary parts of a working day as well as the design review, which is what makes a wearable device worth keeping on.
The launch made Snap's enterprise intent explicit, and it named the software layer that intent depends on. With the rendering handled elsewhere, a full working day fits on the glasses, from the design review through to the documents around it.
