Confirming a report from early March, Snap has officially announced its ambitious next-generation augmented reality (AR) Spectacles. They sound incredibly ambitous, but they also aren't for sale.
Snapchat's Spectacles camera glasses generated a huge amount of hype when they were slowly released in 2016, but total sales were reportedly disappointing. But that isn't stopping the company from doubling down on the project: it just announced Spectacles 2.0 with design improvements and the ability to shoot still photos.
Snap Inc’s experimental foray into wearables may not have had much of a financial impact for the struggling company, but they did create some buzz with their pop-up ‘Snapbot’ vending machines. Now they’ve made their Spectacles available directly on Amazon at the same $130 price.
It's probably nowhere near the top of your photo gear wish list, but one of the "coolest" and most "in-demand" cameras in the world is finally available to purchase online: Snapchat's wearable Spectacles.
I’ve had my Snapchat Spectacles for a few weeks now, and I’m really impressed by the videos you can make with them.
In September 2016, Snapchat changed it’s name to Snap Inc. and introduced Spectacles, a pair of sunglasses with a built-in camera that records 10-second snippets of video and posts directly to your Snapchat Story.
Snapchat's new Spectacles camera glasses just went on sale today. Instead of offering them through an online store, however, Snapchat is selling them through pop-up "Snapbot" vending machines that show up in various locations for a single day.
Snapchat just unveiled camera sunglasses for capturing your daily life as your eyes see it. The Snapchat Spectacles are upcoming $130 shades that will compete against the likes of Google Glass.
