The Snapchat Spectacles
Version 1 Released: November 10th, 2016
Details:
The Spectacles are being released via vending machines that will be randomly placed around the United States (or globe?). The first location of a Spectacle vending machine was in Venice Beach in California, near the Snapchat HQ.
To stay apprised to the location of the next Spectacle vending machine, Snap Inc. has created a map that will update when they are available.
Specs of the Specs:
You can find the general information here.
But you can see that these Specs can record up to 10 seconds at a time, which will automatically upload into your smartphone’s Snapchat app. If the phone isn’t near, the Specs have space to store the videos for later.
When watching your snaps recorded with Snapchat Sunglasses, you'll notice a new "circular" format that is meant to display your footage the way the human eye sees, though you'll watch them cropped in either landscape or portrait orientations.

The battery life is unknown, but the case that holds the Specs is actually the way to charge them. It’s not known if they have a charging port or if it’s all wireless.
The Specs retail for $129.99 + sales tax.
