Editorial summaries
INMO Air3
INMO Air3 AR glasses are available for purchase directly from inmoxr.com with an Add to Cart button; preparation takes 7 to 10 business days and delivery takes 7 to 10 business days after dispatch to over 200 countries.

Spectacles 5
Snap's Spectacles 5 are standalone AR glasses (Snap OS, dual see-through waveguide displays, hand-tracking and voice, four cameras, ~46-degree field of view, ~45-minute runtime) and the AR-first corner of the wearable-AI cohort, distinct from the capture-first recorders (Plaud, Omi) and the assistant-first camera glasses (Meta Ray-Ban, Rokid). The AI is genuine: multimodal Lenses and a 'My AI' assistant powered by OpenAI and Google's Gemini (read signs, translate menus, identify objects).
DEPLOY records it at pilot maturity, because it is not a consumer product: distribution is developer-only, a $99-per-month subscription with a one-year commitment, US-only, not retail. There is therefore no consumer purchase price. A next-generation consumer device, 'Specs', is targeted for 2026 but has not shipped.
