These Snapchat Spectacles or sunglasses, records videos in 10-second increments, are expected to be available for sale sometime "soon." Snap Inc., as the company is now called, says it will be producing the glasses in small quantities.



Snapchat Spectacles are one of the smallest wireless video cameras in the world, capable of taking a day’s worth of Snaps on a single charge, integrated it seamlessly into a fun pair of sunglasses – available in 3 different colors.
