Has Snapchat Gone Too Far?

Just when you thought millennials couldn't put down their phones, Snapchat has gone the extra mile to ensure that they can consistently be present in cyber space. In case you are late to the party, Snapchat now sells camera-equipped sunglasses called Spectacles.


These glasses can record videos that can be sent and accessed through the Snapchat app. The Spectacles cost $130 and are available in three colors: red, teal, and black. However, the glasses are currently only being sold in limited amounts from pop-up shops around the United States. 

The video shows a 115 degree angle view to try and mimic the perspective of the human eye. Then, the footage is sent to the Snapchat app via bluetooth or Wifi, and from there can be edited and sent to friends or your story. The Spectacles come with its own case that can also conveniently charge your glasses up to four times. 


Now, all you have to do is (1) find a Spectacles pop up shop, (2) convince yourself its worth it to spend $130 on these glasses, (3) decide which color you look best in, and (4) tap the button on the top of the frames to start recording. 


Happy snapchatting to all you snapchatters!!!
