I made several of the shots in this launch video (I'm the one holding the mirror in the first few shots and took some of the 3D and AR shots later on in the video). Can confirm 100% it's working hardware. Super impressed by the form factor, as it's really quite flattering on a wide range of face shapes, and most of all stoked that they fit really well on Asian faces (which few glasses or sunglasses do).

@karenxcheng could you tell us more about the 3D and AR shots. Are the AR features build into the Spectacles, or added after in the app?

@karenxcheng I didn't realize Asian faces were so different it affected the fit of sunglasses. That's interesting, if unfortunate.

@blondinmikkel It's the nose fit! We have lower nose bridges

@tomashertus Spectacles hardware captures the 3D information and then the AR effects are added afterwards in the app

I know many people are cynical about Spectacles but I'm glad to see Snap continue to invest in hardware. The LA-based startup has always done things different. Will you buy a pair of Spectacles v3?

@rrhoover Pre-ordered. Excited for the new design with more stable looking nose pads compared to previous models.

@rrhoover @joshuatalley VR180 would have been hella cool! That was my first impression of the ideal feature list when I heard these had dual cameras.

Liking the new styles with this update. Spectacles are now fashion forward it seems

Spectacles could've been Snapchat's savior early on. Now, it may be too late. Looking forward to the company that releases something similar but that works across the most popular platforms directly, instead of just one.

@jon_tavarez why do think it may be too late? (genuinely curious)
Jon Tavarez
@kenton their first spectacles went out of style pretty quickly and even though they're easier to get you don't see more people buying them, but I could be wrong! At this point, I see other companies simply doing it better and for a more competitive rate that isnt limited to one platform. They're in a weird place right now so let's see how this plays out!

I’d be curious to know if I could start my recording either from the phone or even better from my AirPods using Siri. I love snapchats land and expand product development strategy.

They do look great, targeting the luxury wearables market is similar to Apple. Interesting Snap keeps innovating in this space. Wouldn't be surprised if there's a break out use case for an expensive hd face camera eventually.

where are the specs? 3D/AR is cool, but if battery life is still trash...eh.
