New Snapchat glasses called Spectacles have been created by the tech startup.
A yellow vending machine with balloons on top was placed in Venice Beach, California Thursday morning, containing the Snapchat product for users to enjoy. You can get one of these limited-edition glasses at one of these dispensaries–there will eventually be more rolled out throughout the U.S.
The company is selling the product for $130 and they look very similar to the design of Minions from the movie Despicable Me. The machine itself is called a Snapbot, and Snapchat is making sure that people know about them as they are updating maps online to show where they will be at any given moment as they will be moved.
The product was teased via a video from the company that shows the Snapbot slowly descending from the sky to the desert-like region of Venice Beach. Balloons hold it up high and facilitate its slow descent toward the ground.
Each Spectacles comes with a charging cable, a charging case and cleaning cloth. The machine “wakes up” and its eye opens up as people walk by to examine it due to some sensors that Snapchat attached to it.
It uses technology to show you what your face looks like while you are wearing the glasses. Black, coral and teal are the three styles available to you if you buy glasses.
