The Spectacles by Snap have been introduced in several different forms but the newest iterations of these connected eyeglasses embraces designs that mimic traditional all-black sunglasses.
The Veronica and Nico Spectacles 2 styles share the same features and recording qualities of previous designs, yet with a more traditional look than the Original Spectacles 2 provide. These new designs also set themselves apart with polarized lenses and a soft case, which resembles a classic sunglasses outfit. Just as before, Snap has partnered with Lensabl to allow consumers to order prescription lenses for these new styles if needed.
In the fall, Snap plans to add a feature that will curate all of the best Spectacles captures into a Highlight Story, which further simplifies tasks for users who don't want to have to go back and curate their own content.
