Snap, the parent company of Snapchat, could be lining up the release of the second generation of its Spectacles wearable glasses, if a FCC filing is anything to go by.
The filing, which was first spotted by Variety, refers to a ‘Model 002’ of a ‘wearable video camera’. Other than that, it’s pretty short on details.
The filing doesn’t include any images of the new device or a user manual to give us a little more insight, due to a confidentiality request from Snap. What we do know is that the new version of the glasses will support 802.11ac wi-fi and Bluetooth 4.2, and the device will once again come with a charging case and cable. 
Word of Snap’s intentions to create the second edition of its Spectacles first arose back in June 2017. According to a patent filing at the time, it appears that the glasses will likely have built-in AR. In addition, the filing revealed that Snap could working on AR helmets and AR visors.
