Mobile messaging app Snap announced it is buying brain-computer interface startup NextMind as it looks for ways to make its wearable augmented reality (AR) glasses easier to navigate hands-free.

Snap says it eventually wants to integrate this technology into future versions of its Spectacles devices, which superimpose AR graphics on real-life surroundings through its lenses.
