Snapchat’s parent company, Snap, has unveiled redesigned “Spectacles” sunglasses with 3-D effects.
Spectacles 3, the latest version of Snapchat’s video recording sunglasses, also comes with an eye-popping price tag.
At $380, it’s more than double the cost of its previous version.
Less than three years ago, Snapchat’s first pair initially sold in vending machines and became a viral hit.
However the hype fizzled and the company had to take a nearly $40 million write-down for excessive inventory.
Snap said Spectacles 3 is a limited edition product and it will make less of the new sunglasses than it has in the past.
The device is available for preorder now but it won’t ship until fall.
