Back in 2016, when the first version of Spectacles was launched it had initially created a lot of hype and a lot of SnapBot vending machines were installed in U.S. People were standing in line for hours so that they can grab those spectacles.
Snap Inc. had sold more than 150,000 spectacles ($130 each) but having hundreds and thousands of unsold units which caused a loss $40 million. It also expected that company will only produce limited stocks.
They will also license these wearable camera technologies to other eyewear companies such as Luxottica and Warby Parker.
