Snapchat has unveiled a new version of its Spectacles, augmented reality glasses which the company says will overlay virtual items onto the real world in front of the wearer.

Previous versions of Spectacles have focused on taking photos and videos from a first-person perspective, but Snap Inc boss Evan Speigel said this new version would enable people to “bring their imagination to life”.
