Snap, the innovative force behind Snapchat, is now offering an exciting educational discount on their newest Spectacles AR Glasses, significantly reducing the initial $1,200 launch price by half for students and teachers. This move aims to make the cutting-edge technology more accessible to those keen on exploring augmented reality.
Launched in September 2024, these fifth-generation Spectacles, also known as Spectacles ’24, have primarily been catered toward developers. The pricing scheme was set at $100 monthly for a one-year commitment, providing cutting-edge tools to those shaping the future of AR.
The latest model comes packed with upgrades over its predecessor from 2021. It boasts a wider field of view, enhanced resolution, innovative hand-tracking capabilities, and a significant software overhaul. However, the original cost has been a significant barrier for students and educators eager to delve into AR development and learning.

With the new student discount in play, the monthly cost drops to an attractive $49.50 for a 12-month term, amounting to $594 upfront for the initial year, and continuing at the same monthly rate thereafter. This provides a more feasible option for those with an academic email, such as a .edu address, or any address from a recognized educational institution.
This discount isn’t limited to a specific region; it’s available to eligible students and educators in supported regions including the US, France, Germany, Spain, Italy, Austria, and the Netherlands, making this advanced AR experience more widely attainable.
