Snap announces Spectacles 3 with an updated design and a second HD camera to create depth perception, going on sale in November for $380

Today we're excited to introduce … Andrew Hutchinson / Social Media Today : Snapchat Announces New Version of Spectacles, with Improved Camera Capacity Andy Walker / Memeburn : Spectacles 3 is Snapchat's stylish $380 augmented reality sunglasses PYMNTS.com : More Than Pretty Pictures: Visual Commerce's Rise Boosts Retail Tweets: Kurt Wagner / @kurtwagner8 : Snap is still making Spectacles. Version 3 has two cameras instead of one, and cost $380 https://www.bloomberg.com/... @business : Snap's new Spectacles: -record with two cameras instead of one -have a steel wire frame instead of the chunkier plastic of previous models -cost $380 a pair https://www.bloomberg.com/... via @tictoc https://twitter.com/... Whale / @elwhale : I will never understand how there is any demand for these things https://twitter.com/... Alyssa Bereznak / @alyssabereznak : snapchat has updated its spectacles from “flimsy frat bro kegger” shades to “i'm co-renting a hampton's summer home with six other finance bros” shades. congrats to snapchat https://www.theverge.com/... Danny Sullivan / @dannysullivan : I *LOVE* my @Spectacles but wish we'd also get version 2.5 that either looks like Wayfarers or just notched down over the bridge. Pretty please? Because I look like an old man in these. OK, I mean I am old but.... https://twitter.com/... https://twitter.com/... @nattgarun : Somehow this manages to look even worse than before https://www.theverge.com/... DadBod / @db : Oh the design is *bad* bad. If the point is to stand out then goal achieved. But if the goal is to get super-user influencers to use Spectacles often then this is a failure. There's a fine line between wearing Spectacles and being a spectacle. https://twitter.com/... Dan Seifert / @dcseifert : almost $400 and they still look like cameras strapped to your face https://www.theverge.com/... Dave Gershgorn / @davegershgorn : if 500 youtubers who reach a wide swath of the users/potential users buy them and make a video with them on, that seems like some powerful brand staying power https://twitter.com/... Shira Ovide / @shiraovide : “So if Snap doesn't make money off Spectacles, and doesn't plan to sell many units, why bother making them at all?” Yes, good question, @KurtWagner8 https://www.bloomberg.com/... Owen Williams / @ow : Make this but it works with Instagram and I bet millions buy it https://twitter.com/... Kerry Flynn / @kerrymflynn : Ugh Specs 3 are $380 and NOT water resistant vs Spectacles 2 at $150 and OG at $129 🙃 https://twitter.com/... Kerry Flynn / @kerrymflynn : “We don't see the internet and the real world as two separate things. What we found is that if we can integrate computing into our natural lives, we actually adopt better behavior.” - ⁦@evanspiegel⁩ https://www.vogue.com/...
